Summary

1. "Over the course of a decade, the renowned photographer Camille Seaman traveled yearly to the Arctic and Antarctic aboard scientific and expeditionary ships, witnessing firsthand the hidden, ghostly, and incredibly beautiful mountains of ice that exist at the antipodes of our globe. Approaching each iceberg and glacier as a portraitist would a living subject, Seaman's photographs contain a sense of scope, intimacy, and sustained wonder that transport the viewer to a world that is both timeless and imperiled. Accompanying these one-of-a-kind images are a series of linked personal essays in which Seaman explores the unlikely path that led her to photography and to her deeply personal relationship with the world's polar regions."--Jacket.
