Description
The Arctic islands represent one of Earth's last wilderness areas, characterised by beautiful mountains and glaciers, in which plants and animals live in delicate balance with their environment. It is also a region with a long history of exploration and exploitation by humans, now experiencing rapid environmental change. All of these themes are explored in this richly illustrated insight into the evolution of the Arctic landscape, with superb photographs from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Greenland, Svalbard and the Russian Arctic.
