The eight remarkable images include: a trio of adorable, toddling Adlie penguins; two polar bear cubs playing with their mother; a lumbering walrus making its way across the ice; a snowy owl hovering in the sky, searching for prey; a beluga whale breaching the cold water of the Arctic Ocean; a Svalborg reindeer nibbling at tufts of summertime grass; a pack of sled dogs, racing towards you; and the Aurora Borealis glowing in the northern sky.

The text writing, Carol Kaufmann, brings these exotic regions and their inhabitants to life, drawing attention to the extremes of life at the poples, and to the endangered wildlife calls this icey land home.
