He was able to photograph tens of thousands of caribous wandering throw the golden tundra, millions of birds that undertake incredible migrations to build their nests in this distant land. Mother bears nursing their cubs, arctic foxes playing at their den or muskox roaming the tundra. For us humans the arctic might be a harsh barren wasteland but for the arctic wildlife it is their home. Even small increases in temperature will see their habitat like the ocean sea ice for polar bears - literally melt away. Scientist believe the Arctic will be ice free by 2035 if not much sooner.

Although the common perception of the Arctic is that it is a vast nothingness, Florian Schulz’s photographs reveal a world teeming with life amidst complex natural systems — systems that fuel our global economy and affect our health and environment.

An award-winning wildlife photographer, Schulz photographs throughout the circumpolar North, from Alaska to Canada, Greenland and Norway. To capture these images, he endure subfreezing temperatures, camping on ice sheets, diving beneath icebergs, and riding on dogsleds.

His photographs reveal the vast scale of the Arctic plain, which is host to migrating birds from around the globe, as well as the yearly migration of thousands of caribou. They also expose how the loss of polar ice and snow is dramatically altering the fabric of Arctic life on land and sea.
