The World

Michael Poliza is more than a seasoned globetrotter who has travelled through almost 170 countries. He is also a collector of the world, always on the lookout for breathtaking landscapes, remote regions, and intact nature reserves. With his camera ever on hand, Poliza aims not only to experience the beauty of the planet but also to make it accessible to all.

In his two great books, Africa and Eyes over Africa, as well as his volumes on South Africa, Kenya, and Namibia, Poliza opened our eyes to the diversity of the African continent. In AntArctic, the WWF ambassador created a sensitive double portrait of the polar regions. Furthermore, through his characteristic aerial photographs, he offered new perspectives on well-known places like Mallorca.

In this trade edition of The World, Poliza opens his digital treasure chest to reveal previously unpublished images from all seven continents. Like a true photographic world tour, we journey with him to destinations such as Australia and New Zealand, Vietnam and Myanmar, the western USA and northern Canada, the Galapagos Islands and Bolivia, across the Antarctic, and through the many lands of Africa.

No matter how different the regions he explores, the photographer always captures extraordinary images, conveying both the beauty of our planet and an urgent need to protect the natural world.
