Alone on the line where sea meets sky, a small dhow rides the wind on a patchwork sail across the Gulf of Guinea near Ghana. For thousands of years, humans have pitted themselves against nature’s most humbling forces on the open ocean.

Trading a life on land for one at sea was a leap into the unknown, but without it, we would never have uncovered the true scale and wonder of our planet.
