POLAR – Memories of the Ice – by Dominique & Olivier Larrey:

"Polar: Memories of the Ice offers a perspective—spanning both past and present—on our planet’s most fragile lands, whose survival depends on our future actions."

Over the course of fifteen years of photographic expeditions, Olivier Larrey has explored the icy regions of Antarctica as well as the islands and archipelagos surrounding the North Pole. His lens has captured both the landscapes and the wildlife (terrestrial, marine, and avian) of these regions.

This book also holds historical significance. Alongside contemporary imagery, Olivier Larrey highlights the explorers of bygone eras, recounting the perils of polar navigation, the exploration of Antarctica and the Northwest Passage, and the race to the South Pole.

Modern photographs are complemented by engravings from centuries past. This perfectly illustrates the author’s approach: to photograph a world that is quite simply vanishing.
