Behrendt made his first trip to Antarctica in 1956 as a graduate student "assistant seismologist" in the International Geophysical Year (IGY), where he wintered over at Ellsworth Station and participated in the Filchner Ice Shelf Traverse in 1957-58. Behrendt has continued his work in Antarctica on 12 additional trips, most recently in 2003, making him one of 2-3 people who have worked in the U.S. Program in Antarctica in six successive decades. In 1961-62 he led the Antarctic Peninsula Traverse; the Behrendt Mountains in Ellsworth Land were named as a result of this expedition. He has also participated in six research cruises in the Weddell and Ross Seas in Antarctica. As a result of his Antarctic research, Behrendt was active as a member of the U.S. Delegation to 22 Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings from 1977-1995. In this role, he was a scientific advisor on negotiation of the Environmental Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty. In 1992 he received the Department of Interior Meritorious Service Award for outstanding research in Atlantic Margin Geophysics; Charleston Earthquake Studies; Great Lakes seismic reflection investigations; and Antarctic scientific research. He was awarded the first Felice Ippolito Gold Medal for his Antarctic research by the Italian Antarctic Research Program and the Academia Nazionale dei Linceia in 1999.

One of the first women and first Americans to go mountaineering throughout the world, Betsy Cowles Partridge climbed extensively during the 1930's and 1940's in Colorado, the Tetons, the Santa Martas in Columbia, the Canadian Rockies, and the Swiss Alps. In addition to being a forerunner in making these trips, Partridge wrote extensively about her adventures and recorded them in beautiful black and white photos. Her 'trip of a lifetime' was the 1950 trek she and four men took to the Khumba region of Nepal, home to Mount Everest. Betsy was the official photographer of the party, the first ever Westener to visit the area. This is an exciting adventure told, in part, in the mountaineer's own words and containing a selection of Partridge's photos.

"The San Juan Skyway winds its way up, over, and through canyons, mesas, plateaus, mountains, plains, and valleys. The sheer variety of landforms makes the Skyway a veritable classroom for the amateur naturalist and historian. The most complete work published on the natural history of southwest Colorado's majestic mountain system, The Western San Juan Mountains: Their Geology, Ecology, and Human History is designed to be used while exploring the scenic 235-mile paved San Juan Skyway, which passes through Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, Dolores, and Cortez. The Western San Juan Mountains covers the physical environment, the biological communities, the human history, and points of interest represented on milepost signs along the highway. Some of the many topics covered include: how the San Juan Mountains were formed; why the landscape is so rugged and picturesque; why the vegetation changes from the lowlands to the alpine heights; energy and mineral resources of the area; why these mountains intrigued early explorers; factors that influence the unpredictable weather; and the first-known inhabitants. The contributions to this guide include Fort Lewis College geologists, biologists, archaeologists, historians, and other specialists. Together they have amassed more than one hundred years of study based not only on previous work but on their own research. This generously illustrated guidebook is aimed at all those who wish to understand this intricate mountain system in much greater detail than provided by most picture books." (Publisher's blurb).
