Fifteen years before Mesa Verde became a national park, a young Swedish scientist explored and photographed its landscape and cultural sites. Clambering up and down sheer cliffs while hauling heavy, cumbersome equipment. Gustaf Nordenskiold produced vivid images. Publication of his comprehensive study of the ancient ruins the following year brought worldwide attention to the area.
