Paul Nicklen

To witness the Arctic and Antarctica through Paul Nicklen's lens is to experience hope in action. Born to Ice showcases the life's work of an artist whose love for the landscape-and each animal in it-is so palpable that emotion echoes throughout every image. As a collection, the images build in scope and power, leaving you profoundly affected and deepening your sense of commitment to protect these stunning parts of our planet. - Leonardo DiCaprio, June 2018

Selecting his most evocative and thought-provoking imagery, this BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, top Instagram photography influencer, and speaker takes you deeply into a world he loves. Bathed in polar light, Nicklen's photography breaks new ground, offering a vivid, timely portrait of two extraordinary, endangered ecosystems.

In a wise intertwining of art and science, Nicklen's bold expeditions plunge him into freezing seas to capture it all, from sea to sky, all species and all habitats, including unprecedented, up-close documentation of the lives of leopard seals, whales, walruses, polar bears, elephant seals, penguins, and narwhals.

A captivating and important volume of fine art wildlife photography that illustrates Nicklen's vision of seeking out truth and change through his work-his foundation with Cristina Mittermeier, SeaLegacy, a non-profit environmental organization.
