Nearly 450 awe-inspiring photos present unexpected perspectives of the mighty Atlantic Ocean and the western European coastal areas it touches.

The powerful Atlantic Ocean looms off the coast of western Europe as a mercilessly untamed, rugged, and endless expanse. While Europe's nearly 750 million residents and hundreds of thousands of annual visitors can make for crowded cities and congested towns, the coastal areas offer plenty of spots for people to get in touch with nature—and to experience the majesty of the Atlantic Ocean.

In this oversized photographic extravaganza:

• Nearly 450 magnificent images showcase unexpected perspectives of the places where rock, wind, and water collide on Europe's Atlantic coast.
• Images showcase views of Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway, Sweden, Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, and Portugal.
• The range of the Atlantic is on full display. The ocean is characterized by shoals and foaming spray, surging waves, and treacherous currents, yet it is also a unique habitat for whales and seabirds—and the backdrop for gorgeous sunsets. 

This stunning addition to a stylish coffee table provides plenty of inspiration for adventurers, photographers, armchair travelers, and all others who find themselves in awe of the storied Atlantic.
