Planktonium is a new book by award-winning photographer and filmmaker Jan van Ijken that sheds light on the magical microscopic world of plankton.
The new book — released by Lannoo Publishers — features a ton of never-before-seen photos that expose the sheer variety, wonder, and beauty of these organisms that inhabit all the waters around us.
Accompanying the book, van Ijken also made the short film Planktonium. The highly acclaimed film showcased stunning visual imagery while highlighting plankton’s crucial role in life on earth and how these building blocks of life are threatened by global warming, ocean acidification, and climate change.
