Geography Alive: Regions And People

Welcome to Geography Alive! Regions and People. You have just begun an active, hands-on journey into the world around you. That journey started with the dramatic photograph you saw on the previous page. Before going back to look at that photo again, picture yourself in a tiny airplane. You are sitting next to a famous landscape photographer named Yann Arthus-Bertrand. You can't talk to him because he is hanging out of his window snapping pictures with his camera. T o see what he sees, turn back to the previous page. What a strange landscape, you think to yourself. As you look more, your mind is flooded with questions. Where are we? Who lives down there? What are they doing? Why does the land look this way? With such questions tickling your brain, you have just entered the geographer's world.
