Gorgeous book full of wildlife photos from the poles, including awesome pics of narwhals. Clearly there is something wrong with me, because instead of worrying about global warming, I spent my night trying to remember what movie has a mr. narwhal character in it! Finally realized it was Elf with Will Ferrell, and then wanted to go and watch it immediately.

Great photography, especially of the leopard seals and of South Georgia Island. Photographers seem to be an invasive sort (I've had to deal w/ them on several of my jobs and they are a true pain in the ass!) and I'm sure the animals would rather be left alone. That said, the pictures are remarkable. I also suspect that I could have lived w/o them.

Gorgeous photos in this one!

Voordat ik dit boek las, kende ik deze Canadese fotograaf nog niet. Zijn werk blijkt een openbaring. Hij maakt prachtige onderwaterfoto's, veelal in de Poolgebieden. Zijn werk is meermalen bekroond door World press photo. Een prachtige inleiding tot zijn werk.
