In 1977, a young Australian woman named Robyn Davidson set out from Alice Springs to trek across 2,700 kilometres of harsh desert of Western Australia to reach the ocean. Accompanied only by her dog and four camels, Davidson had no other purpose than to reach the ocean and find herself on a journey of self-discovery. National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan documents her journey.
