Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888
Photograph by Paul Nicklen
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.
Join us for an evening exploring the breathtaking beauty of the polar regions and the impact of climate change on their fragile ecosystems.
Hear an interview with Paul Nicklen on NPR‘s All Things Considered and see a slide show of his work.
