Outlandish : walking Europe's unlikely landscapes
Hunt, Nick2021
Books
In 'Outlandish', travel writer Nick Hunt takes us across landscapes that should not be there, wildernesses found in Europe yet seemingly belonging to far-off continents: a patch of Arctic tundra in Scotland; the continent's largest surviving remnant of primeval forest in Poland and Belarus; Europe's only true desert in Spain; and the fathomless grassland steppes of Hungary. From snow-capped mountain range to dense green forest, desert ravines to threadbare, yellow open grassland, these anomalies transport us to faraway regions of the world. Against the rapid climate breakdown of deserts, steppes, and primeval jungles across the world, this book discovers the outlandish environments so much closer to home - along with their abundant wildlife.
