The Arctic: A Darker Shade of White
The Arctic: A Darker Shade of White
Winner, 2024 Photographer of the Year, International Photography Awards
Winner, 2025 Book of the Year, Tokyo International Foto Awards
2024 NEW YORK TIMES and NEW YORK POST HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE PICKS
With his unrivaled photography taken over 20 years of expeditions, including to the North Pole, Copeland transports us to the Arctic to share the heart of the polar cap as never before seen.
The Arctic is one of the last true wildernesses on the planet, and its demise should ring the alarm for lower latitudes. Copeland's multifaceted background--not only a polar explorer, award-winning photographer, and established author and journalist but also a dedicated environmental advocate--offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. Although the vision presented in these pages may be poetic, the book's aims are pragmatic--to inspire and help foster a transformation toward a sustainable future.
The Arctic: A Darker Shade of White is a gateway into Copeland's intrepid journeys as he takes us along and unveils some regions of the globe that had rarely--if ever--seen a footprint before. It is an intimate and visually arresting ode to the human pursuit of exploration inside Nature's most remote and otherworldly theater.

About the Author
With approximately 6,000 miles under his skis in the polar regions, Sebastian Copeland has led numerous expeditions to the North and South Poles on foot. Noted as a photographer "who has produced works that are of outstanding artistic merit and communicate messages of urgent global significance," Copeland has addressed audiences at the UN, universities, and many Fortune 500 companies to warn of the systemic transformations taking place in the polar regions and their geopolitical consequences. In 2017, Men's Journal named Copeland one of 25 of the world's top adventurers of the last 25 years. The Arctic completes a polar trilogy comprising Antarctica: The Waking Giant (2020) and Polar Explorations (2022). Copeland was named four times Photographer of the Year. In 2019, he was knighted by French President Emmanuel Macron in the National Order of Merit; and the National Order of Arts and Letters. Dr. Jane Goodall, known for her landmark chimpanzee study, is the most recognizable figure in conservation today.
