Svalbard was a chance to see one of the most northern, remote islands on Earth as part of a circumnavigation on a small motor vessel as part of a workshop with Natural World Safaris. As an opportunity to teach and learn as well as shoot our own photo assignments in one of the most remote and hostile environments on earth, it was pretty incredible to gain such an appreciation of that landscape and its fragility as ice calved off glaciers in front of our eyes. Encountering polar bears that are searching for sea ice and arctic foxes furrowing for food - we hope some of our images do some justice to that constant battle between the beauty and the harshness of these surroundings that are changing so fast with the climate.
