Traveling to and within the Arctic is still an adventure. In summer, vast areas are bathed in the midnight sun, while colorful waves of light dance across the starry sky. Venture to the top of the world, taking in extreme landscapes of icebergs and fjords, fascinating cultures and lifeways, and an astounding variety of flora and fauna. Here, the fragility of nature is shown to full effect, seen in the melting of glaciers and retreating ice. Through hundreds of stunning photos, this gorgeous oversize book is sure to inspire everyone who makes the trip to the top of the world.
