Terra Ultima

"It seemed that we had already traveled and mapped the entire surface of the globe. But it turned out that something had been overlooked, something that no atlas reflected. Nothing more and nothing less than an entire continent: Terra Ultima". And what a continent: it is colossal and completely unique. There nature continued its course without human intervention, which resulted in an unimaginable and overwhelming wealth of species and life forms. The explorer Raoul Deleo discovered Terra Ultima after several years of searching. Through colorful and detailed drawings, he introduces us to his expeditions and the wonderful animals, plants, and landscapes that he encountered. His diary entries testify to the hardships he endured, and the extraordinary encounters that travel can bring. Terra Ultima has already generated a huge stir in the realm of science, and now everyone can get to know the unknown continent. Colleague explorer and biologist Noah J. Stern has had access to Deleo's archive, and has made a selection of both his plates and his notes so that everyone can form an accurate picture of this fascinating new continent.
