Off the coast of western Europe, the Atlantic looms as a mercilessly untamed, rugged, and endless expanse. The ocean is characterized by shoals and foaming spray, surging waves, and treacherous currents, yet it is also a unique habitat for whales and seabirds—and an inviting sight for us humans as it gleams in the light of the setting sun. Where rock, wind, and water collide—on coasts from Iceland to the Canary Islands, from northern Norway to Algarve—the range of the sea’s strength becomes evident along the European coast—in the empty beaches and imposing cliff faces, the black lava rocks, and the high surf pent up against stone walls. In magnificent photos, this book reveals unexpected perspectives of the “Sea of Atlas,” capturing landscapes that are a constant source of inspiration. ISBN 978-0-7643-6670-3
