Description
Some of the most stunning photography of the Arctic ever published-before it vanishes. Inspired by the success and critical acclaim of Ice: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers, Sven Lindblad focuses on documenting the Arctic at the most critical period for the region in history-as it faces global warming and expanding international exploration. Unlike other photography books on this region that focus on a singular aspect, The Arctic documents imagery of the wildlife, people, and landscapes.
For more than 40 years, Sven Lindblad and Lindblad Expeditions have been exploring the vast reaches of the Arctic and capturing spectacular images of stunning scenery, magnificent wildlife, and native denizens. The Arctic brings all three elements together in an unparalleled volume of stunning photography and thoughtful, first-hand writing.
