Summary

This is a fantastical journey to the world's hardest to reach habitats on Earth. Very few people in the world have completed this fantastical safari in real life because the conditions are so harsh and the places are so remote, but Kristjana Williams has brought these elusive wonderlands to humming, buzzing abundant life in this beautifully illustrated follow up to the internationally best-selling Wonder Garden.
Take a deep diveinto the Mariana trench to meet spooky glow in the dark creatures who glide and hunt in warm vents of eerie water, close to the centre of the Earth. Step out onto the frozen Greenland ice shelf and see Arctic wolves, birds of prey and polar bears hard at work, hunting in the glittering ice. 

Locations include:
The Mariana Trench
The Greenland Ice Shelf
The Galapagos Islands
The Highlands of Papua New Guinea
The Faroe Islands in Denmark

Encounter strange and beautiful creatures and plants and treasures from nature and discover how they have each adapted to suit their unique habitats. This is armchair travel at its most intrepid and awe inspiring. Rendered in bright Pantone inks and bound in a 100% foil cover, this is a handsome book to treasure and pore over.
