Waterfalls everywhere, icebergs float like sculptures in quiet lagoons, canyons bear witness to the unbridled power of the glaciers, black beaches disappear into the horizon, while the highlands with their volcanic landscape make you feel as if you are on another planet.

It shows us what the Earth was like before humans arrived.
