Seasons of the Arctic Book

A spectacular tribute to one of the last great wilderness areas on Earth.

In this beautifully produced, large-format volume, photographer Paul Nicklen unveils the soul of the magnificent Arctic. Nicklen has ventured to its most distant corners, and his work captures the incredible beauty and diversity of this vast land: caribou migrations and blossoming flowers in spring; sleepy walruses, nests of snow-goose chicks, and rainbows in summer; sparring polar bears and the dazzling aurora borealis in autumn; and ptarmigan, arctic foxes, and ravens in winter.

The superb images are complemented by the poetic text of Hugh Brody, who describes the six seasons identified by the Inuit, the true experts of the Arctic, and eloquently expresses the passion he feels for this unique landscape.
