Nikon Ambassador and National Geographic magazine photographer, Ami Vitale, has traveled to more than 100 countries, bearing witness not only to violence and conflict but also to surreal beauty and the enduring power of the human spirit.
Throughout the years, Ami has lived in mud huts and war zones, contracted malaria, and donned a panda suit— keeping true to her belief in the importance of “living the story.”  In 2009, after shooting a powerful story on the transport and release of one the world’s last white rhinos, Ami shifted her focus to today’s most compelling wildlife and environmental stories.

We lost a legend. And are absolutely gutted. In honor of the icon, the inspiration, the hero that was Hilaree Nelson, we decided to republish her 2019 Stokecast interview. Through this, please allow Hilaree to continue inspiring your next great adventure and your most fulfilling life.


On September 26, 2022, while skiing off the true summit of Mount Manaslu in Nepal with partner Jim Morrison, Hilaree Nelson was swept off her skis by a small avalanche that carried her off the south side of the face. Her body was found two days later. Hilaree will be missed, but her spirit and legacy will live on.
