Award-winning nature photographer Florian Schulz has published a new panoramic photo essay title, "To the Arctic". Schulz's large-format book contains more than 150 color images that take readers on a personal journey to the remote-yet-vibrant Arctic. The book also includes several first-person accounts that describe Schulz's larger-than-life adventures in the far north...

German photographer Florian Schulz's work has been featured as part of a visual campaign that celebrates the beauty of the Arctic while simultaneously warning of the threats of offshore oil development and industrialization. The campaign, titled "Visions of the Arctic," was launched in April and is comprised of a series of public presentations by Schulz. A traveling exhibit of the photos opened at the G2 Gallery in Los Angeles on May 7.

Mountaineers Books has published “Yellowstone to Yukon: Freedom to Roam,” with more than 200 full-color images by Florian Schulz (see Portfolio, page 12) and a foreword by Robert Kennedy Jr. Schulz documents the landscape, plants, animals and people of an ecosystem that exists along the spine of the Rocky Mountains.
