The infant has been dubbed in UK and US media “the world's most travelled baby” having chalked up 23 countries before he has even turned 11 months old.
Atlas’ first trip took place when he was just six weeks old, as mum Becs Lewis and dad Will Montgomery flew him from their Queenstown home to Singapore to begin their year-long worldwide travels. Since then the trio have been campervanning across Europe, clocking up the kilometres and the countries.

The 94-year-old pilot crashed into a paddock near Mosigel on Thursday -and it's not the first time he's walked away from a crash involving his home built replica aircraft.
Grant owns two home-built aircraft, which he flies from his private landing strip on Old Brighton Rd, near Kaikorai Lagoon – about 12km from Thursday's crash site.
Grant, who was not admitted to hospital, was approached for an interview but ‘’he would see no point in it’’, wife Jeanette said, and anyway he had an aircraft to repair.

Ngāi Tahu and the Department of Conservation released 18 takahē on the Ngāi Tahu tribal property Greenstone Station on Wednesday.
It was overseen by Ngāi Tahu rangatira Tā Tipene O’Regan who first saw the birds during an expedition with Dr Geoffrey Orbell in 1949, one year after they were rediscovered, having previously thought to be extinct.
“I have been enraptured by takahē since I was a boy, so it is very satisfying to release our taonga on our own whenua as we move towards a shared goal of seeing takahē throughout the Ngāi Tahu Takiwā,” he said.

The biggest challenge for the country’s latest cycleway was there was simply no space to build it.

"It is a very complex project. Typically with cycleways you have somewhere to construct them, that is why we left this section to last," Jason Forbes, Waka Kotahi senior project manager, said.
The cycleway – the 10km long SH88 Dunedin to Port Chalmers Shared Path – will be officially opened by Transport Minister David Parker on Saturday afternoon.
The cost of the entire project is $43.8 million to date, and is expected to come just under its $50m budget.
