In this stunning, large-format, panoramic photo essay, renowned nature photographer Florian Schulz takes readers on a personal journey to the remote-yet-vibrant Arctic. In contrast to the common perception of the Arctic as a vast nothingness, Schulz's images display an ecosystem of surprising richness that is teeming with life. Following the cycle of a year, TO THE ARCTIC showcases a pageant of wildlife oddly captivating forms of muskoxen, waves of migrating caribou, and some of the most extraordinary images ever captured of a mother polar bear and her two cubs.
Schulz's range of imagery, accompanied by his personal stories from field, explores the remarkable diversity and drama of life in the Arctic. Complementing Schulz's work is a forward by Sylvia Earle, National Geographic Society Explorer-in-Residence, and a preface by Academy Award nominated film director Greg MacGillivray.
