Description
"Over 200 stunning images from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Greenland, Svalbard and the Russian Arctic illustrate the beauty of one of Earth's last wilderness areas. Islands of the Arctic describes the evolution of the physical landscape through its 4000 million year history, and the processes that continue to affect the region today. Moving from the formation and influence of glaciers to the history of human exploration in an unforgiving environment and from pingos to musk oxen, this book is an excellent introduction for the Arctic enthusiast and a mine of information for the seasoned traveller."--Jacket.
