Ślady Atlantydy
Traces of Atlantis

Summary/Abstract: Quite possibly the number of recollections concerning the Tatra Mts. is simply too large. Their over-whelming majority is based on the obvious convention of presenting universally familiar landscapes captured decades ago or a documentation of elements of essential importance for our space, such as the opening of a hostel, sports competitions, a cultural event. The Tatra Mts. Atlantis is the outcome of an excess of observations of such depictions, which result in compressing the portrayals of the Tatra Mts. and Zakopane. An attempt at taking a look from the outside makes it possible to arrange unexpected collections, whose examination may come as a surprise. A non-extant ski lift on Mt. Łopata Kondracka, a tiny hut on Miętusi Saddle, a miniature meteorological observatory on Żółta Pass, the first hostel in Wielicka Valley, Mt. Giewont without the cross, Goryczkowy Cirque without the ski lift and featuring only traces of skis, the disassembled “Chatka Ascety” climbers’ wintertime camp on Włosienica Glade, a valley deprived of trees… A lost land – the Tatra Mts. Atlantis.
