Summary: | "Imagine a typical continent with seemingly endless land in all directions, diverse landscapes with broad valleys and uplands, and wide-open vistas across undulating plains, with upstanding mountain ranges far in the distance. There may be prominent features that command attention and draw the eye, like odd-shaped hills, peaks, pinnacles, mesas and volcanoes. And there may be canyons, valleys, gorges, large depressions and basins. Now imagine this same continent under the sea, and largely drowned. Welcome to Zealandia"--Publisher information. |
