If you're dreaming of exploring wide-open, sparsely populated spaces off the well-beaten tourist track, your wanderlust reignited with the new year in sight, we're going to take you on a journey...
In a landscape of raw skies and empty plains, far from the reach of Google Maps, Mike MacEacheran encounters eagle hunters in Mongolia (page 20), a land seemingly forgotten by time.
Lemurs the size of fairground teddies in an island nation nicknamed ‘the eighth continent’ has Chris Haslam believing he's journeyed to another world when he lands in Madagascar (page 28).
While an eternity of sky meets an ocean prowled by orcas in the windswept beauty of the Outer Hebrides (page 34).
Greenland (page 42) is one of Earth's harshest landscapes, but we'll tell you how to explore its ice-laden wilderness in one awe-inspiring week. And then there's Costa Rica (page 48), a magical Latin American land that's a tonic for the senses.
Enjoy the trip.
