Do you know why the skeleton coast caused so many shipwrecks in the last couple centuries in Namibia ? Have you ever crossed the last European primary forest at the border between Poland and Belarus ? What are the secrets of the deepest and most mysterious Oceanic trench, the Mariana Trench ?

Chris Fitch embarks us deep in the wilderness, to the discovery of unreachable lands, forgotten kingdoms and lost islands. However, presenting an inventory of earthly paradises doesn’t satisfy the photographer. He also brings up the sites that are the most hostile to mankind – too hot, too cold, too deep – or even those which, after either a sustaining the damage of conflict or a human catastrophy, recovered their wild attributes. these indomitable sites remind us of the fagility of mankind on earth. Through his journey, Chris Fitch delivers a vibrant plea in favor of biodiversity and demands respect for nature. It is an Atlas precisely documented and illustrated with maps, made by Martin Brown.
