Book Description
Where the arid grasslands of southern Argentina meet the Atlantic Ocean, the wild winds and waters of Patagonia have sculpted a magical landscape. This wonderland is Monte Le�n National Park. Established in 2002 through public and private collaboration, the park's creation was prompted by a gift from Kristine McDivitt Tompkins, who formerly ran the clothing company named for this legendary region. Encompassing roughly 155,000 acres and 25 miles of shoreline, Monte Le�n is a destination for adventurous travelers and home to an array of charismatic creatures -- guanacos remain ever wary of stalking pumas, vast colonies of Magellanic penguins coat the beaches -- and the tidepools harbor a universe in miniature.
In Monte Le�n National Park, photographer Antonio Vizca�no takes readers on a visual tour of the park's natural features, exploring the wildlife, landforms, textures, and sublime quality of light where land meets sea. Essays by the key players who helped birth the park complement Vizca�no's images. Monte Le�n is a book as beautiful as the place it celebrates. For everyone who has ever dreamed of Patagonia -- Monte Le�n is your invitation to visit a little-known treasure of the Argentinean coast.
