"Far north, hidden behind grim barriers of pack ice, are lands that hold one spellboundGigantic imaginary gates, with hinges set in the horizon, seem to guard these lands. Slowly the gates swing open, and one enters another world where men are insignificant amid the awesome immensity of lonely mountains, fjords and glaciers." -- Louise Boyd, photographer, 1935
