Icebergs to Iguanas is a collection of Jason Edwards' treasured National Geographic images and memories, enriched with behind-the-scenes stories, fascinating captions, and personal observations extracted from his field journals.

Collected from over three decades of nature photography, Icebergs to Iguanas will transport you to distant lands, introducing fascinating species, ecosystems, and ancient cultures. Spectacular imagery and insightful behind-the-scenes narratives examine the wonder of wild places and our impact on the planet. Whether you are an armchair traveller or seasoned passport-filler, an amateur photographer, or a professional documentarian, you will be inspired by the diversity of our incredible world.

From Jason Edwards:

I’ve spent the past three decades exploring the world with a camera in hand, bearing witness to the miracle of Nature and the complexities of the human condition.

After countless frames and unmapped miles, I’m excited to introduce Icebergs to Iguanas featuring a collection of my favourite National Geographic images and behind-the-scenes tales. Whittled from countless miles and enlightened with fascinating captions and personal observations extracted from my field journals, Icebergs to Iguanas has been described as β€˜a love letter to planet Earth’. Photography is more than just capturing beautiful pictures; it’s about telling a story. My goal is to take people on a journey filled with beauty, adventure, hardship and danger, disease, laughter, and wonder. To inspire people about the natural world in which we live, whilst simultaneously celebrating our diverse cultures.
