A land in which nature's creative forces are still awesomely at work, New Zealand can be described as one of the world's last unspoiled countries. Presented in this collection of photographs and descriptive text is the sheer spectacle of the North Island's active volcanoes, boiling mud and steaming geysers as well as the scenic grandeur of the South Island including the lofty Southern Alps. This book pays tribute to the quiet majesty of the country's breathtaking natural beauty.

A successful international travel photographer for many years, Warren Jacobs has also published an impressive range of scenic books on New Zealand under the imprint of Kowhai Publishing. Robin Smith has also had his work published internationally and has now written and photographed more than 20 scenic books about New Zealand and Australia.
