Haphazard discoveries, chance places and unimaginable destinations: In 45 beautiful, unique maps and with evocative photography, «Atlas of the Unexpected» is a journey to far-off lands, obscure discoveries and unimaginable locations. From the fortuitous discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls by a stray goat, to the wonderfully bizarre beginnings that led to the aptly named «Just Enough Room Island» and even the royal romance that led shipwrecked lovers to discover Madeira, Travis Elborough takes you on a voyage to some of the world’s most wondrous, improbable and – most of all – unexpected of places.
