Atlas of Improbable Places

Travis Elborough goes in search of the obscure and bizarre, the beautiful and estranged. Take in the ancient city of Ani, a once-thriving metropolis; the church tower of San Juan Parangaricuto, sole survivor of a town sunk by lava; the labyrinths of Berlin and Beijing dug for refuge or espionage - as well as the Island of Dolls and the Door to Hell. With beautiful maps and stunning photography illustrating each destination, Atlas of Improbable Places is a fascinating voyage to the world's most incredible destinations.
