Peter & Bev’s WILDERNESS PICKS

1 ANTARCTICA It must be preserved for the very simple reason that it’s absolutely pristine… It’s like walking into creation, like going back in time.

2 ALASKA AND THE YUKON This region is so vast, and so extreme and it just has everything: waterfalls, glaciers, whales, bears… there is so much life.

3 THE NAMIBIAN COASTLINE It’s a harsh environment, and you have to adapt to it before you enjoy it, but to find life in the desert is an absolute revelation. You’re not finding herds of 400 elephants, but when you see 10 elephants walking out of the sand dunes, it’s just incredible.

4 THE ARCTIC We need to save it for the incredible bird colonies and polar bears. Seeing a polar bear for the first time is such an emotional experience.

5 THE TIBETAN PLATEAU The Tibetan Plateau is some of the most immense wilderness we found. If you draw straight lines on the map, it’s 1 200km long by 1 000km wide, and in that entire expanse there was one road and one railway. The people are all nomads, and it’s bordered by four of the most amazing mountains on Earth.
