Happy 80th birthday to living legend #ReinholdMessner from #SouthTyrol, #Dolomites, #Italy.
Widely considered the greatest mountaineer of all time, he's the first man who climbed all fourteen 8000 mt. mountains on Earth, the first man to ascent Everest in solitude, the first man to cross alone and only on foot Antarctica, Greenland and Gobi desert.
In June 2006 he opened the Messner Mountain Museum (MMM) in 6 different locations in the Dolomites, a project that unites the stories of the growth and decline of mountains, the culture in the Himalayan region (where he spent much of his life in his 20s and 30s) and the history of South Tyrol👇
