Australia: Arnhemland & the Kimberly

Iceland is land of geysers, glaciers, volcanoes and rough-hewn coastlines. Nowhere else on Earth do the four elements collide in such dramatic fashion as in Iceland. Art captures dramatic expressions of the planet’s geomorphology using composition, pattern and light to create a striking portrait of a volatile and dynamic landscape.

Known for its arid steppes, skilled nomadic horsemen and Genghis Khan, a visit to Mongolia feels like a trip back in time. At the annual Naadam Festival, contestants vie to be the victor in wrestling, archery and horseracing. Art Wolfe pursues prehistoric wild horses, rides with a Kazakh tribesman and catches up with nomadic reindeer herders at their summer camp near the Siberian border.

Take a behind-the-scenes peek and go along on one of Art Wolfe’s adventures. Meet the small, intrepid Travels crew as they venture through the remote kingdom of Bhutan and Nepal’s lowland wilderness. Follow along on their perilous drive over a high mountain pass; track unpredictable sloth bears; and keep pace with Art at a frenetic Buddhist festival.
