Secret Corners Of The World

National Geographic Society, 1982. Isolation, inaccessibility, political turmoil, and forbidding natural barriers have kept life in some areas hidden from the eyes of the world. By foot, boat, van, car, horse, jeep, and plane, the contributors explore centuries-old villages in the mountains of Spain, shadowy bazaars in Afghanistan, and the isles of Tierra del Fuego. Climbing icy pinnacles in Columbia and snow draped peaks in equatorial Africa, they discover little-known places, fairy-tale landscapes alive with fantastic wildlife. More than 170 color photographs illustrate the life and land of our world's secret corners....
