This book celebrates the Arctic, exploring the natural history that
has so inspired generations. Early travellers to the Arctic brought
back tales of amazing creatures and of the endurance required of
visitors, the Arctic becoming a land of inspiration and
imagination. Adventurers test themselves against it. Its wildlife
still amazes - when film and television show Earth's natural
wonders it is always the polar regions that draw the biggest
audiences. But today the Arctic is in retreat. Humanity's
relentless exploitation of the Earth's resources in the pursuit of
progress has, it seems, altered the climate and threatens the ice
and ice-living organisms. It is a cliche that the loss of a species
diminishes us, but it is true nonetheless. Even to people who have
never seen a Polar Bear its loss will be immeasurable as the bear
is iconic, both defining and reflecting the Arctic. This
Traveller's Guide is designed to give visitors a handy
identification guide to the wildlife they might see as they travel
around, including stunning photography and detailed descriptions of
each species.
