Polar Explorations

Sebastian Copeland is one of the foremost polar explorers of our generation. With his unrivalled photography taken during transcontinental crossings of each polar cap, Copeland transports us to the giant ice deserts-truly the ends of the earth-and invites us quite literally inside these adventures. These polar regions are also the bellwether of the impacts of climate change, and Copeland's stunning images galvanise our awareness of the threats of global warming and the need for conservation. Continuing the rich publishing tradition of Rizzoli's environmentally focused photography books, including the acclaimed Ice, Wild Encounters, Polar Tales, and Copeland's own Antarctica--Polar Explorations takes us as participants even deeper into the heart of the polar caps and in a way never seen before, and maybe never able to be seen again.
