With his unrivaled photography taken over 20 years of expeditions, including to the North Pole, Copeland transports us to the Arctic to share the heart of the polar cap as never before seen.

The Arctic is one of the last true wildernesses on the planet, and its demise should ring the alarm for lower latitudes. Copeland's multifaceted background--not only a polar explorer, award-winning photographer, and established author and journalist but also a dedicated environmental advocate--offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. Although the vision presented in these pages may be poetic, the book's aims are pragmatic--to inspire and help foster a transformation toward a sustainable future.

The Arctic: A Darker Shade of White is a gateway into Copeland's intrepid journeys as he takes us along and unveils some regions of the globe that had rarely--if ever--seen a footprint before. It is an intimate and visually arresting ode to the human pursuit of exploration inside Nature's most remote and otherworldly theater.
