Help us make our feature documentary where we retrace the 110-year-old route of Nelson and Goldman, two of the first modern scientists to explore the peninsula and study the bizarre flora and fauna of beautiful Baja California.
In 1905, two American naturalists set out on horseback across the remote deserts of Baja California, Mexico.
Their expedition was the first of its kind to span the entire peninsula and complete a comprehensive survey of Baja's flora and fauna.
Zig-zagging from coast to coast across the desolate interior, Edward William Nelson and Edward Alphonso Goldman described plants and animals unknown to science.
One hundred years later, Goldman's descendants return to Baja to retrace the steps of this landmark expedition on motorcycles, and document the changing nature of this strange and beautiful landscape.
