Description
In this stunning collection of photographs, Paul Nicklen unveils the soul of one of the worldís last great wilderness preserves—the Arctic. During his twenty-five years of living in the North, Nicklen has ventured to the most distant and untouched corners of the Arctic; his work is a celebration of this vast land. These superb images are complemented by the poetic text of Hugh Brody, who spent several years living in the North. He describes the six seasons identified by the Inuit, the true experts of the Arctic, and expresses the power of the Arctic to inspire and the passion he feels for this unique place. Together, text and photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into this rare and beautiful world.
