Subject: [Leica] landscape photography advice?

I have a friend who gets to travel to many amazing places for work  
(Alaska, Hawaii, Venice, the Galapagos... the list goes on) and is  
interested in taking pictures of them, for obvious reasons. However,  
she's currently using a basic point-and-shoot and hasn't really put  
much thought into photography as an art (or skill, or anything more  
than seeing something pretty and taking a snapshot of it). Do any of  
you have any advice I can pass onto her for how she can improve?  
Landscape photography is not really my specialty, so I don't have any  
favorite photographers or books to point her toward, and I don't have  
a firm grasp on what the right sort of camera might be to use.
