Since 2003, Paul Nicklen has published nine feature stories in National Geographic, making a name for himself as one of the world’s leading wildlife photographers. His affinity for polar regions goes back to his childhood in an Inuit community, where he first learned to track wildlife. This committed naturalist shares images from his new book, showcasing the beauty of the Arctic and Antarctic and capturing the impact of climate change.

See the exhibition, Polar Obsession, in the M Street Lobby, Sept. 24 – Feb. 15.
