Due to the sensitive nature of the area (and a technology ban) the photographer Damon Winter chose a Hasselblad. It's a fine read, and quality images too.

Quality optics on MF will always stand out. Good article, not so many photos as I want it to be .

This is fascinating, and I agree, the photographs are excellent. Even without reading the text, the square format gives the immediate clue that this was done on film (although some digital photographers do crop square). But the pictures "look" film. I think the following quote is pertinent to our modern frantic world:

"After a few days here, almost entirely offline, I felt I knew what he meant: The world outside the mountains now seemed mad to me, too.
How can we protect resources like starlight, quiet and obscurity that have little value in the marketplace?"
