Reisgids Socotra | Bradt Travel Guides
Reisgids Socotra | Bradt Travel Guides
Bradt slaagt er weer in om een unieke reisgids uit tegeven; Socotra, een voor velen totaal onbekend eiland  voor de kust van Somalie, Yemen en Oman. Uniek in veel opzichten en vrijwel onbereikbaar. Maar tegelijk een droom voor veel reizigers! The new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt’s Socotra remains the first and only guide available to the largest of the four islands that make up the Socotra Archipelago in the Arabian Sea, 390 km offshore from their mother land, Yemen. A UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site packed with dramatically varied and essentially undisturbed landscapes (mountains, forest, ravines, sand-dunes, beaches, caves…), Socotra is unique. Sometimes known as ‘The Galapagos of the Indian Ocean’, the archipelago has an exceptionally large number of species found nowhere else in the world (‘endemic’) in an area barely the size of Wiltshire. Accordingly, wildlife-watchers love Socotra: of 220 bird species recorded, 11 are endemic, while more than 300 plant species…

Reisgids Greenland | Bradt Travel Guides
Reisgids Greenland | Bradt Travel Guides
New from Bradt, Greenland is the first standalone travel guidebook to the country from a mainstream publisher. Targeted at independent travellers, but equally serving those visiting on organised tours or cruises, this guide combines essential information – such as getting around on an island lacking roads connecting the major settlements – with advice on what to see and do, and where to stay and eat. Every chapter is infused with Greenland’s remarkable combination of pristine nature and traditional culture, which sets it apart from Arctic neighbours – and which makes a trip so rewarding. The world’s twelfth-largest country, but also part of the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland sits near the top of the world, a vast expanse of white in a planet full of green, blue and brown.

Productomschrijving

New from Bradt is the first ever, standalone English-language guide to Hokkaidō, Japan’s second-largest island and northernmost prefecture. Home to under 5% of the country’s population, this is a land of vast, wild expanses that demands exploration at any time of year – and feels a world away from Tokyo. Penned by an outdoors-loving travel writer resident in Japan, Bradt’s Hokkaidō delves far deeper into this frontier land than country-wide guidebooks can possibly do. Author Tom Fay provides detailed coverage of the island’s history, unique wildlife, local food, the Ainu (indigenous people), outdoor activities, skiing logistics, hiking courses and the practicalities of visiting in winter, when deep snow carpets the ground and the sea turns to ice.   Hokkaidō’s varied landscapes include remote mountain ranges, fertile lowland plains, sweeping forests and enormous wetlands home to rare birds and other wildlife. Even for the Japanese, Hokkaidō has a somewhat wild and exotic aura – place names have distinct Ainu origins and the capital Sapporo is closer to Russia’s Vladivostok than to Tokyo, while the Siberia-influenced climate and wide open spaces are unlike anything found in the rest of Japan.   Hokkaidō’s mild summers are ideal for sightseeing, cycling, camping and hiking. Why not climb the island’s highest mountain in Daisetsuzan National Park – an untouched wilderness of simmering volcanoes and stunning nature – or marvel at colourful fields of flowers around Furano and Biei? In winter, you can go to snow festivals, walk on sea ice (or board an icebreaker) to explore the Sea of Okhotsk, watch flocks of sea eagles or track brown bears in Shiretoko National Park, or head to popular ski resorts such as Niseko where the huge dumps of perfect powder snow attract skiers and snowboarders from around the world.   Throw in hot springs (and ryokan hot-spring inns), active volcanoes, speciality seafood and quirky foodstuffs such as chocolate-covered chips, excellent transport links and renowned Japanese hospitality, and Hokkaidō is a thrilling and varied off-the-beaten-path travel destination. Bradt’s Hokkaidō is instantly the essential companion.
