This stark yet fragile icy realm may sound our last warning before the impending destruction of the environment. Sebastian Copeland, an award-winning photographer and environmental activist, witnessed the accelerated devastation of the Antarctic ice shelf while aboard a research vessel on behalf of Global Green. He uncovered both the awesome beauty of this mysterious continent and the alarming warnings made visible through his lens. Here he shares images of not only otherworldly glaciers, fields and fjords, but also clear signs of the massive inroads that climate change has made upon this magnificent continent.\"Antarctica\" features Copeland's presentation of scientific data and personal insights about climate change including how and why the polar regions, both North and South, continue to melt at an increasingly rapid pace. Commentary comes from Stephen Schneider, a Stanford professor and global warming expert, and Zac Goldsmith, \"The Ecologist\" magazine editor, and Mikhail Gorbachev and Leonardo DiCaprio add their visions for the challenging dilemma we face. Other contributors include Will Steger and David De Rothschild, a National Geographic \"Emerging Explorer\". \"Antarctica\" includes the DVD SOS: A Global Warning, an extensive, behind-the-scenes dialogue, shot on location, between Copeland and his coproducer, aerial artist John Quigley. The story of this production-at-sea includes a montage of live action and stunning photography set to a contemporary, original musical score.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49642904813841,"sku":"GOR008786508","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49769481044241,"sku":"GOR007390996","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53437874864401,"sku":"CIN1933784199G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1933784199.jpg?v=1751314937"},{"product_id":"antarctica-book-sebastian-copeland-9780847868865","title":"Antarctica","description":"Antarctica s ice sheet is a powerful entity, alive and dynamic. It is up to three million years old; its mass is constantly and imperceptibly moving, finally calving to the sea. Deep in the heart of the continent is a barren desert of snow, while the coast teems with life: the dominion of whales, birds, penguins, and seals, which had previously evolved outside of human contact.  Until recently, scientists thought Antarctica had remained mostly untouched by climate change. But now they have warned that the ice is indeed melting and quickly. My research there gave me a deeper perspective of the subtle variations taking place at the hands of climate change, says Copeland.  The images I bring back tell the story of a changing environment that spells the oncoming redrawing of the world s map, and all that it implicates.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738337124625,"sku":"NGR9780847868865","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50690381971729,"sku":"GOR012744028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52705978319121,"sku":"NIN9780847868865","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52849391730961,"sku":"CIN0847868869G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847868869.jpg?v=1750915157"},{"product_id":"polar-explorations-book-sebastian-copeland-9780847870875","title":"Polar Explorations","description":"This book captures the essence of the human spirit against the backdrop of the globe s most hostile natural environments. It is a visual account of some of Copeland s seminal polar crossings on the Arctic sea ice, Greenland, and Antarctica, where humans are dwarfed by superlative conditions. It chronicles the toil, the tools, and the scale. But mostly, it is an invitation to the voyage.  Exploration is what we do when we are born,  Copeland says.  It is society that dulls that curiosity.  In the process of documenting this book, Copeland was beaten by gales; blinded for days by total whiteouts; lost parts of his toes to frost; broke ribs; survived hurricane-strength storms at sea; scuba-dived under icebergs and everything in between. The frigid temperatures are a challenge for everything, particularly the equipment. With nothing but sky and frozen matter for months, the visual monotony could seem underwhelming.  On the contrary,  says Copeland,  no two days have looked alike.  The physical challenge of the ice is the rite of passage into a world of adventure on a scale that is unmatched anywhere. Polar Explorations takes the reader along for the ride. It tinkers with the gear, shares the tug of the heavy sledge, and teases the spirit as it pull toward the wide-open space of an otherworldly earth. It is a visually arresting ode to that most fundamental human pursuit and its history. It is an open door to dream.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740701466897,"sku":"NGR9780847870875","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847870871.jpg?v=1750980039"},{"product_id":"intrepid-traveler-book-sebastian-copeland-9788799903092","title":"The Intrepid Traveler","description":"This book is about travel - not tourism per se, but travel - responsible, ecological and personal-growth travel; the kind of travel that benefits both the visitor and the visited.

Fewer still conjure respect like the seldom traveled and ethereal North Pole. Yet, sadly, this largely pristine and mostly misconceived treasure is now in jeopardy.

Copeland's multi-faceted background-not only as polar explorer and award-winning photographer, established author and journalist, but also as a dedicated environmental activist-offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. Surely, this is the last true wilderness on the planet-and its demise should ring the alarm for the lower latitudes. Copeland's authority on the subject is unparalleled and, in this book, his passion for this place truly shines.

With his expedition partner, Copeland spent forty-three days crossing the Greenland ice sheet without outside support. In the process, he set a new world record for the longest distance traveled on kites and skis, covering 370 miles over one twenty-four-hour period. With the same partner, Copeland led the first east-to-west transcontinental crossing of Antarctica by skis and kites via two of its poles, setting three world records over the 2,500-mile, eighty-four-day expedition.   These polar regions are also the bellwether of the impacts of climate change, and Copeland s stunning images galvanize our awareness of the threats of global warming and the need for conservation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51670129770769,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51670130622737,"sku":"NGR9780789344427","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52542957289745,"sku":"NIN9780789344427","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0789344424.jpg?v=1751394891"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sebastian-copeland.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
