Paul Nicklen
Photograph by Lyn HartleyPaul Nicklen has published nine feature stories in National Geographic since 2003, making a huge imprint in the world of natural history photography by documenting wildlife’s struggle with rapid environmental change, from the coral reefs of the South Pacific to Norway’s Svalbard Islands. Growing up in a small Inuit community on Baffin Island he learned to travel the ice and track its wildlife. Nicklen takes his audience underwater to see fascinating documentation of leopard seals, whales, walruses, polar bears, and narwhals; and over the ice to look at musk oxen, grizzly bears, caribou, foxes, wolves, and more. In November 2009, National Geographic will release a book of his work at both poles, Polar Obsession.
Join us for an evening exploring the wild beauty of the poles and the impact of climate change on their fragile ecosystems.
