Within the pages of Exploring Greenland author Jim Gregson shares narratives of adventures & experiences lived in the impressive landscapes of the great Arctic wilderness. This is a land where areas still exist unvisited by humans & where the cycle of the seasons has revolved through aeons unobserved. The Arctic along with other polar regions is under threat from climate change. This stunning book beautifully illustrated with over 100 colour photographs shows unequivocally what a precious wilderness the world could lose if the trends in global warming continue unabated. Alongside a rich & throught provoking text the images captured here are a treasure chest of environmental jewels. If rare places like these are despoiled or lost it wont just be the wildlife which suffers; the world will be a poorer place for all of mankind.

His message in Exploring Greenland is one of conservation & in these pages he shows us what we should strive to protect. Open these pages not to read tales of conquest but rather to learn of congress with the wild world. ...
