In his new book, The Color of Everything, National Geographic photographer Cory Richards describes in heart-stopping detail how his life flashed before him - at times bizarre, and at others almost mundane. 'This morning I'm being buried alive. I will slowly run out of air and suffocate under the snow,' he writes. Richards was the first (and still the only) American to climb one of the world's 8,000m peaks in winter, reaching the summit of Gasherbrum II in Pakistan in February 2011.
