"The Arctic is a place of elemental contrasts, a place of sublime beauty and unforgiving harshness. In this photographic essay, John Bockstoce presents vivid images from four decades of sailing, researching, and trekking in the Arctic. His photographs convey a passion for the stark solitude of land, sky, water, and ice, and an admiration for the Arctic's inhabitants and their fragile human presence in the Far North."--BOOK JACKET.
