description: In the province of Chubut on Patagonia's Atlantic coast lies one of the places which most attracts international tourism. Every year, to the waters around the peninsula come Southern Right Whales to breed and mate in the quiet waters. But it is not only the whales but sea lions and elephant seals, cormorants and Magellanic Penguins and a great variety of birds and fish which are lords of the special scenery. The characteristic Patagonian landforms, the whimsical interface with the ocean, its beaches and small refuges such as Puerto Piramide and the growing town of Puerto Madryn are all shown through the photographs of Stefano Nicolini, an Italian who has put together the world's largest collection of photographs of the right whales and has spent a lot of time recording the facets of this region. Text describes the landscape, its history and that of the first settlers who arrived towards the end of the XIXth century. Dozens of cruise ships call here at Madryn's port to allow their passengers to get to see this nature reserve and its wonders illustrating this book.
