One of the most beautiful places on Earth, the Arctic, is now in jeopardy. This comprehensive visual record of the North Pole, by renowned photographer, Sebastian Copeland, pays homage to this wonderland, and, in turn, draws awareness to its perilous plight. (…) Copeland’s multi-faceted background – not only as polar explorer and award-winning photographer, established author and journalist, but also as a dedicated environmental activist – offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. Copeland’s authority on the subject is unparalleled and, in this book, his passion for this place truly shines. Although the vision presented in these pages may be poetic, the book’s aims are pragmatic – to seduce and inspire the world in order to help foster a market transformation towards a sustainable future.

(…) Une vision grand format de l’Arctique, tel un testament visuel et cet univers vulnérable qui change de jour en jour. L’eau toujours omniprésente sous forme liquide ou solide, ainsi que le paysage dépouillé ont contraint l’auteur à faire la mise au point sur des détails pour donner un ensemble très artistique. (…)

(…) Le photographe franc-britanique s’est fait le témoin de leur fragilité au fil des lents périples : 8 000 kilomètres à ski en Arctique et en Antarctique. Il est, jusqu’au 15 novembre à Paris Photo, pour la sortie de son dernier livre « Arctica ». Un testament sur la beauté des grands déserts blancs. Et un cri d’alarme : Ces trente dernières années, davantage de glace a disparu que pendant le million d’année précédent. (…)

(…) Few landscapes convey Nature in all of its untamed splendor like the Arctic. Fewer still conjure respect like the seldom traveled and ethereal North Pole. Yet, sadly, this largely pristine and mostly misconceived treasure is now in jeopardy. Sebastian Copeland’s noble goal in these pages is to pay homage to this wonderland, and, in turn, draw awareness to its perilous plight. Copeland’s multi-faceted background-not only as polar explorer and award-winning photographer, established author and journalist but also as a dedicated environmental activist-offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. (…) Although the vision presented in these pages may be poetic, the book’s aims are pragmatic to seduce and inspire the world in order to help foster a marked transformation towards a sustainable future. (…) Arctica: The Vanishing North tells that story, not only thorugh Copeland’s beautifully captured images but also through the collection of stories, thoughts, reflections and experiences of its contributors based on their personal experiences in this enigmatic content. (…) The book strikes that rare balance of being able to appeal to both environment campaigners with the collection of essays as well as photographic aesthetes alike and by doing so, has the potential to reach new audiences and break new ground. (…) This epic collection of breathtaking and thoughtfully selected images of what Copeland calls “the ice desert” takes the reader to a place seldom visited but which continues to fire people’s imagination, marking Copeland as one of the most important polar photojournalists of our time.
