Poles Apart

Poles Apart

by Galen Rowell

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 1997
  • PAPER
  • 184 PAGES

Noted landscape photographer Galen Rowell turns his attention to the ends of the earth: a gorgeous collection of 188 color photographs with insightful commentary on the story behind each picture -- including the technical data for the photographers among us. Any well produced volume of Antarctic photography is bound to be breathtaking but we appreciate Rowell's attention to light and form. Rowell, who was a 1992 National Science Foundation Artist-in-Residence, also traveled on several tourist expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic, and this book includes many photographs taken during his time aboard the Kapitan Khlebnikov.  (ANT27, $45.00)
