A Genuine Feeling for the North

Books of photographs can all too often depict nothing more than a surface prettiness. This is not the case with Arctic Discoveries: Images from Voyages of Four Decades in the North. As well as being beautiful, the images and layout give not only the appearance of the landscape but also the very feel of it, in an emotional sense. Taken from John Bockstoce's many trips the photographs cover the Arctic from the Diomede Islands, between the Chukchi and Bering Seas in the western Arctic, to Spitsbergen, the Faeroe Islands, the Shetland Islands in the eastern Arctic, with Greenland, Iceland, Labrador, and the Canadian Arctic in between. Really, how much more romantic can you get? There is enough description with the photographs to give a clear idea of the locations, and the text enhances and does not overwhelm the eloquence and elegance of the images themselves.
