An emerging star, Paul Nicklen has published ten 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 southern oceans to the high Arctic.
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 stunning, close-up images of leopard seals, whales, walruses, polar bears, and narwhals; and over the ice to look at caribou and polar bird species. In November 2009, National Geographic published Polar Obsession, a major new book featuring his work from both Antarctica and the Arctic.
Journey with this National Geographic photographer as he braves snow, ice and frigid waters to bring new insights into life at the edges of the Earth. (Recommended for grades 5–8.)
Registration opens December 8. Seats are limited so register early! Registrations will not be taken over the phone.
