Arctic Odyssey

In the Kingdom of Polar Bear, hidden by the snowy mountains of Svalbard and surrounded by sea ice, arctic species fight for their survival. These images pay homage to the extraordinary animals and the astonishing scenery bathing in arctic light, while also expressing concern for the future. Polar bears, arctic foxes, ptarmigans, walruses, bearded seals and muskox are living under threat. Global warming is melting the sea ice and the Greenland Ice sheet at record speed therefore disturbing the endangered ecosystem of the arctic and bereaving polar bears among many other arctic species of their home.

    At the edge of the world

    Through the Looking-Glass

    A journey to unknown

    Fragile as ice

    The twosome of the nightless night

    The melting Planet Earth

    The arctic vagabond

    On the edge of ice

    In the morning light

    Law of nature

    White as snow

    I dream of a better tomorrow

    As hope fades away

    This is my kingdom
