With more than 300 stunning images, this book illustrates the spectacular diversity of these oceans and Island creatures, as well as profiles many of the people dedicated to the preservation of this habitat. Home to nearly seventy percent of our nation's coral reefs. Known as the "rainforests of the sea" the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands is a remarkable ecosystem that supports a vast array of interdependent native plants and animals that have evolved in this habitat over millions of years, many existing nowhere on the planet. The inaccessibility of these islands and the need to protect them means that few people will ever be able to visit them in person, though now, for the first time, the area's inhabitants are available for all the world to see through this calendar.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible colors and detail! Some good saves for wall art later ...,
By Shawn (Fredericksurg, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Archipelago 2007 Wall: Portraits of Life in the World's Most Remote Island Sanctuar (National Geographic Calendar) (Calendar)
Incredible detail and beautiful colors for any nature or ocean lover! Though I've found I do enjoy the animals more with their natural backgrounds, the white does make an interesting contrast - obviously putting complete focus on the animal or organism itself. I have saved this calendar and will be putting some of the pics into frames for wall art.
