Great photography, especially of the leopard seals and of South Georgia Island. Photographers seem to be an invasive sort (I've had to deal w/ them on several of my jobs and they are a true pain in the ass!) and I'm sure the animals would rather be left alone. That said, the pictures are remarkable. I also suspect that I could have lived w/o them. ( ) Gorgeous book full of wildlife photos from the poles, including awesome pics of narwhals. Clearly there is something wrong with me, because instead of worrying about global warming, I spent my night trying to remember what movie has a mr. narwhal character in it! Finally realized it was Elf with Will Ferrell, and then wanted to go and watch it immediately. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Arctic is in Paul Nicklen's blood. Born and raised on Baffin Island, Nunavut, he grew up in one of the only non-Inuit families in a tiny native settlement amid the ice fields, floes, and frigid seas of Northern Canada. At an age when most children are playing hide-and-seek, he was learning life-and-death lessons of survival- how to read the weather, find shelter in a frozen snowscape, or live off the land as his Inuit neighbors had done for centuries.Today Nicklen is a naturalist and wildlife photographer uniquely qualified to portray the impact of climate change on the polar regions and their inhabitants, human and animal alike. In a wise and wonderful intertwining of art and science, his bold expeditions plunge him into freezing seas to capture unprecedented, up-close documentation of the lives of leopard seals, whales, walruses, polar bears, bearded seals, and narwhals. Bathed in polar light, his images, inspiring and amazing, break new ground in photography and provide a vivid, timely portrait of two extraordinary, endangered ecosystems.
