It gets worse every year ... You cannot describe the brutality of what is happening with images or words alone,” Mr. Granath says. “Svalbard is at a tipping point.

NEW REVIEW OF "POLAR TALES"
National Parks Traveler is next in line with a review of our latest book.
“All the books I have seen published by Rizzoli International Publications have been expensive, large format productions with superb production qualities, and Polar Tales is no exception. The text is informative and well-written, and the photography simply spectacular … The authors hope that by portraying polar bears and the beauties of the Arctic they can put a dent in the apathy of people who could never experience them in person. If the incredible photography in Polar Tales cannot make a small dent, nothing will.”
