Photo Gallery Jamaica's Blue Mountain Mystery

Photographer Russell Kaye

Guided by legends of an abandoned fortress deep in Jamaica's Blue Mountains, photographer Russell Kaye thrashed about the Rio Grande Valley for two days profiling a countryside that carries the imprint of the Maroons—a society of escaped slaves who battled with colonial armies for more than a century.

Kaye's photographs appear alongside Tom Clynes's article on a jungle trek to the rebel stronghold known as Nanny Town in the September/October 2001 issue of Adventure—and in this online gallery.
