GOMBESSA: A
MEETING WITH THE
COELACANTH
By Laurent Ballesta
In a groundbreaking expedition,
Laurent Ballesta and his team
undertake an immense challenge
– diving to over 120 metres in
search of the coelacanth to be the
first to find, photograph and film
the legendary living fossil. This
extraordinary book takes you to
the very bottom of the ocean, to
an ancient landscape inhabited
by mysterious species, to a world
where every second counts, in
search of a meeting with the fish
thought to have been extinct for
more than 65 million years.
With stunning images and a
compelling, poetic narrative that
immerses you fully in an expedition
that has changed the face of ocean
exploration, this book is a must
have for anybody passionate about
the ocean, science, photography
and adventure. | SGD105
