The Arctic has captivated the imaginations of generations of people who venture to its remote wilderness in search of glory, science, self reflection, and a myriad of other reasons. No matter the motivation, the landscape remains an enchanting and haunting character. It was through this lens that I set out to capture moments of the wild polar lands of Svalbard. Despite the overwhelming beauty of this icy world, it remains in peril due to climate change, and serves as a reminder of the delicate relationship we humans have with our planet.
