Through Armada’s lens, explore the farthest corners of the globe, from the lush Colombian jungles to the unforgiving frozen landscapes of Antarctica, sailing the sub-Antarctic waters of New Zealand and exploring remote archipelagos in the Atlantic and Pacific. This volume spans over 150 pages, divided into three thematic chapters; its generous dimensions and use of high-quality materials enhance the viewing experience.
It is a collection that includes multiple award-winning photographs, noted for their uniqueness and craftsmanship. However, this compilation goes beyond simply displaying stunning images.

Each photograph is meticulously accompanied by references about the species and location. With texts that delve into the uniqueness of the species, highlighting their behaviors, habitats and threats, as well as the history of the places visited, making this book a comprehensive and inspiring resource for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
