About The Frozen Poles

At the top and bottom of the world, the landscape is stripped to its essentials, ice, wind, and silence so deep you can hear your own heartbeat. Antarctica holds nearly 90 percent of Earth's fresh water locked inside its vast ice sheet, while the Arctic Ocean floats above a world of shifting floes and the haunting green ribbons of the aurora borealis. Between the polar bear padding across pack ice in the north and the penguin colony huddled against a southern blizzard, these frozen poles remind us just how astonishing, and how fragile, our planet truly is.
