Book Description
Pacific Journeys is a lavishly produced book of 330 color photographs of the island countries of Melanesia and Polynesia, from Papua New Guinea in the west to Easter Island in the east. Photographer Peter Hendrie made more than thirty journeys over a period of sixteen years to capture the physical beauty and diverse cultures of these unique but isolated islands.
