Argentinean/American photographer Martin Broen, well known for his arresting images of underwater caves, has unveiled a new book, Light in the Underworld, published by Rizzoli. Featuring a foreword by Alex Mustard and an introduction by Paul Nicklen, the coffee-table book is filled with award-winning images that capture the awe-inspiring beauty of the underwater cave systems of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.
Over the past eight years and multiple diving expeditions, Martin has dived miles of pitch-dark tunnels, photographing over 250 different cenotes and caves. The book takes readers on an immersive journey into a world few have witnessed, revealing the natural wonders, ancient secrets, and critical environmental role of the Yucatán cenotes.
Light in the Underworld can be purchased on Amazon and through Rizzoli’s website.
