We don’t just enjoy wild places, we rely on them. Their vastness, mystery, and beauty offer solace, perspective, and a reminder of our place in the world. Wild places ground us, cleanse us, and invite us to experience awe.

In Wild Places, travel writer Sarah Baxter explores 25 extraordinary natural wonders that celebrate the raw beauty of our planet and highlight why these untamed landscapes matter more than ever.

Despite all we’ve built, nothing compares to the grandeur of Lapland’s snowy peaks, the haunting songs of humpback whales off Namibia, or Utah’s immense red rock canyons. From remote deserts to hidden swamps, this book takes you to the edge of the map, where nature still reigns.

Richly illustrated and deeply insightful, Wild Places is your guide to some of Earth’s most awe-inspiring and lesser-known natural marvels, including:

Great Dismal Swamp (USA), Canyonlands (USA), Great Bear Rainforest (Canada), Cenotes (Mexico), Galápagos Islands (Ecuador), Kaieteur Falls (Guyana), South Georgia (Atlantic), Ennerdale (England), Strumble Head (Wales), St Kilda (Scotland), Camargue (France), Sápmi (Sweden), Green Belt (Germany), Wadden Sea (Netherlands), Stromboli (Italy), Las Medulas (Spain), Coa Valley (Portugal), Skeleton Coast (Namibia), Erg Chigaga (Morocco), Kinabatangan (Malaysia), Mount Siguniang (China), Raja Ampat (Indonesia), Gangkar Puensum (Bhutan), Wilpena Pound (Australia), and Wahipounamu (New Zealand).

Perfect for anyone drawn to the wild beauty of the natural world.
