Publisher Description
Skellig Michael is an island of wonder and mystery, standing proud in the Atlantic Ocean like a lost and ancient pyramid. With its high peaks and very steep ledges, Skellig Michael is one of the most dramatic monasteries in the world. See the island through its long and textured past from its early Christian roots through to the time of the Vikings and further.
Skellig Michael is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island is a wonder of humanity, a testament to the strength, faith and determination of a small group of monks, who built a medieval monastery and lived out in the Atlantic Ocean against all the odds.
Every page in this book is a small discovery itself, as the book contains over 30 minutes of video and music, photographs, old maps, drawings, animations and a 3D model of the island. Discover, explore and enjoy Skellig Michael as if you were there yourself.

An excellent ibook
A very welcome addition to the expanding range of ibooks. Detailed and readable and includes wonderful footage of Skellig Michael, an important historical site in Ireland that most people won't ever see. Enjoyed it immensely!
Recaptures an evocative and sublime experience
Skellig Michael - a place apart,and extreme in every sense. Having visited this outcrop off the
kerry coast in Ireland some time ago,I found this ibook by Soliddesign captures eloquently,its unique history,beauty and desolate isolation,which I experienced,albeit during a short visit.This ibook's excellent clean design, imaginatively uses of photography,video,animation,and words.It recaptures those vivid memories experienced of a rare and sublime place,that compliments the original film 'Hermitage' made by Light-Keepers.net
Wow !!!!!
This is the best iBook I have bought so far, 5 stars *****
