Welcome:



"Polar Obsession" by Paul Nicklen.



I present a selection of the best photographs of the wonderful book "Polar Obsession"
by photographer Paul Nicklen.


These pictures are the culmination of 15 years of work photographing wildlife
in the Arctic and Antarctica.

The book celebrates the ecosystems of the Arctic and Antarctic and discusses the urgent need to halt global warming, which threatens its existence.
