Description
When we look at nature, we can perceive both beauty and mystery. Islands emphasise this duality even more. Known as luxury get-away destinations, as well as the metaphorical symbol of solitude, isolation, and abandonment. In reality, islands are multiple: from a tropical ocean paradise to land in a cold northern sea. Each one with its own unique appearance, ecosystem, and personality. Each one with a story to tell, actual and spiritual. This book captures the most fascinating islands on planet earth and tells their story through captivating photos and inspiring words.
