    Atlas Antarctic Atlas | Particular Books
    Atlas Antarctic Atlas | Particular Books
    One of the least-known places on the planet, the only continent on earth with no indigenous population, Antarctica is a world apart. From a leading cartographer with the British Antarctic Survey, this new collection of maps and data reveals Antarctica as we have never seen it before. This is not just a book of traditional maps.   It measures everything from the thickness of ice beneath our feet to the direction of ice flows. It maps volcanic lakes, mountain ranges the size of the Alps and gorges longer than the Grand Canyon, all hidden beneath the ice. It shows us how air bubbles trapped in ice tell us what the earth's atmosphere was like 750,000 years ago, proving the effects of greenhouse gases.   Colonies of emperor penguins abound around the coastline, and the journeys of individual seals around the continent and down to the sea bed in search of food have been intricately tracked and mapped. Twenty-nine nations have research stations in Antarctica and their unique architecture is l…

    Fotoboek Arctic | Amber Books
    Arctic: Life Inside the Arctic Circlepresents a snapshot of what life is like in the frosty world of this wintry paradise, its challenges far removed from those of our own more temperate climate. The Arctic may be cold and remote, but it is far from being a barren wasteland; in fact, it is teeming with life and activity, and is one of the most beautiful places on our planet. Arctic includes stunning photographs of the region's most inspiring landscapes and the animal residents of this northernmost area of the world, and an insight into how industry, research, and tourism has impacted the terrain.

    Fotoboek Iceland - IJsland | Amber Books
    Fotoboek Iceland - IJsland | Amber Books
    A hotspot in the North Atlantic, Iceland is one of the world's most unusual countries. It is Europe's second largest island but its most sparsely populated country. Sitting astride the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, linking the North Atlantic plate with the Eurasian plate, it is closer to Greenland than Europe. It lies just south of the Arctic Circle, but, warmed by Gulf Stream waters, has a temperate climate. It has fiery volcanoes and freezing glaciers, striking black sand beaches and hot geysers - the word geyser itself comes from Icelandic. And a geologically young landmass, Iceland is still taking shape: a volcanic eruption in 1963 caused the formation of the new island of Surtsey. Iceland is a fascinating exploration of this most beautiful island. From volcanoes and lava flows to geysers and geothermal pools, from bird life to whale-watching, from national parks, verdant valleys to inland tundra, and from how waterfalls are used for hydro-electric power to Reykjavik's city life, the book is…

    Fotoboek Born to Ice | teNeues
    SeaLegacy co-founder, National Geographic photographer, acclaimed ocean conservationist, and TED Talks favourite, Paul Nicklen traces his extraordinary love affair with the polar regions in his most recent book, Born to Ice. His powerful images of iconic arctic and antarctic wildlife and scenery, coupled with his inspiring photographic storytelling, blends ethereal beauty of the icy landscape with a compelling call to action. The Arctic is in Paul Nicklen's blood. Born and raised on Baffin Island, Nunavut, he grew up in one of the only non- Inuit families in a tiny Inuit settlement amid the ice fields, floes, and frigid seas of Northern Canada. At an age when most children are playing hide-and-seek, he was learning important lessons on survival; how to read the weather, find shelter in a frozen snowscape, or live off the land as his Inuit neighbours had done for centuries. Today, Nicklen is a naturalist and wildlife photographer uniquely qualified to portray the impact of climate chang…

    Productomschrijving

    Presented in a landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Antarctica is a stunning collection of images celebrating this hostile yet striking continent. On the southernmost tip of the Earth lies one of the world's biggest and most unfriendly landmasses. From the waters of the Southern Ocean to the ice shelves, glaciers, volcanoes, and mountains, Antarctica is one of the most mysterious yet intriguing continents in existence. It is the windiest, driest, and coldest place on Earth, making it uninhabitable for humans; however, the snow, ice, water, and rocks make it simply stunning. Did you know that if you throw boiling water into the air in Antarctica, it will instantly vaporize? Despite these unimaginably harsh conditions, this unique continent is home to a vast array of wildlife; penguins, seals, and whales are among the animals that brave this frozen planet. From the Ross ice shelf, the largest in Antarctica, to Mount Erebus, currently the most active volcano on the continent, and from Shackleton's Hut to an abandoned whaling station on Desolation Island, Antarctica is a fascinating exploration of this area of sublime beauty.
