After having spent some precious time in the Arctic, Spitsbergen, I found this book when I returned home in my bookshelf. It is an old gift from my friend Fred Goldberg and a signed copy of a book with stunning photos of the Arctic, especially Svalbard and Spitsbergen. It does contain texts, not long one´s, but vital one´s which gives a great insight into the Arctic. Especially it notes that the polar bear is the best marker for the climate change that has hit the earth at dangerous levels.
Definitely a coffee table book any lover of the Arctic should have in their bookshelf. Even if the text is in Swedish.
