Where the wild things are: Stunning pictures from the most remote places on earth where you can truly get away from it all

There are more people on earth than ever before, but thankfully there are still some remote corners that remain untouched and unspoilt.

These breathtaking photos provide a glimpse at some of the most majestic and mystical destinations that are the definition of getting away from it all.

The stunning collection from Wild World, a new book from Lonely Planet, takes armchair travellers to the ends of the earth, including Wilhelmina Bay in Antarctica and a Norwegian village built on rocks in the Arctic Circle.

Some of the best shots show a baby longtailed macaque tucking into a piece of fruit in the arms of its mother in Bali, and a galloping reindeer herd in Swedish Lapland.

Aimed to inspire new journeys off the beaten track, the book includes natural landscapes such as the cascading Iguazu Falls in Argentina and a frost-covered Thuringian Forest in Germany.

Scotland's Isle of Skye and Outer Hebrides, Wales' Snowdonia and England's Chiltern Hills and Cornwall are featured in the book.

The spell-binding collection is a follow-up to Lonely Planet's super-sized bestseller Beautiful World which included more than 300 sublime photographs of the world's most captivating spectacles.
