Description
Situated at the southernmost tip of America, Patagonia is one of the Earth’s most valuable nature reserves. On its lengthy Atlantic shoreline, the Valdés Peninsula – shaped like an axe head – juts out into the ocean. The varied shorelines created by this strange accident of geography , together with the rocky promontory at Punta Tombo, have provided a sanctuary for birds and sea mammals that is absolutely exceptional.
Jasmine Rossi, responsible for these striking color photograph and the moving texts that accompany them, has documented like no-one before her the behavior of whales, sea elephants, orcas, penguins, flamingos and other species that gather in its protected waters, by its cliffs, and on sand and pebble beaches. Animals making their home on the arid Patagonian steppe complete this unique view of the incomparable wealth of the fauna at the end of the world.
