From the Carolina Outer Banks to New York's Fire Island, from Iceland to the Netherlands and Colombia to Vietnam, barrier islands protect much of the world's coastlines from the ravages of the sea. This title identifies coastal plains, Arctic, and delta - each with its own geological characteristics and particular morphologies.
