Wildlife photographers Peter and Beverley Pickford's study of ten of our planet's most untouched marine habitats and coastal habitats: South Africa’s Transkei Wild Coast; the vast tern flocks of the Seychelles, the endangered whale sharks of Australia’s Ningaloo Coast; the icy waters of Alaska and British Columbia’s southwest coast; the steamy rainforests of central America and Cuba’s protected Jardines de la Reina, the legendary diversity of the Galápagos Islands, the deep-water reefs of the South Pacific’s Coral Triangle, the polar bear realms of the Arctic, and the penguins, seals and whales of South Georgia Island and Antarctica.

The result of four years of research, travel, and photography, the text details their journey through some of the planet’s most pristine waters, while issuing an urgent call to protect our wild oceans for the sake of future generations.

Peter and Beverly Pickford have been photographing wildlife for over thirty-five years. Their books include Wild Land; Forever Africa, journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Morocco; The Miracle Rivers, the Okavango & the Chobe of Botswana and Southern African Birds of Prey (text by Warwick Tarboton).
