Book Description

The latest, lavish photographic book by the master of the medium. Culminating over 20 years of panoramic work in a single large format book, this encompasses Earth’s iconic wild places while exposing some of the lesser-known landscapes of our planet. The photographs span six continents and range from the northern- to the southernmost extremes of the Earth, capturing a range of wonders -- the wildebeest migration of the Serengeti, to polar bears on the stark landscape of Hudson Bay. Mangelsen’s images capture both an intimate and far-reaching look into the natural world that has inspired artists and adventurers for centuries.

One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography. -- American Photo, 2005
