Svalbard is an iconic location for anyone obsessed with wildlife. The raw nature of the environment crafted by the ice, glaciers carving a landscape, rugged and unforgiving. In this region the ice bear is king, taking refuge on this archipelago in the summer, before moving back out onto the sea ice to hunt. The dramatic cliffs give respite for breeding seabirds, a bounty of food for scavengers and predators a like. The weather unpredictable and harsh, the landscape untamed by man.

Whilst in the region of Svalbard I wanted to capture the feeling of the region, exploring the isolation and constant evolving nature of the ice. My opportunities with Polar bears allowed me to explore their isolation and time off of the ice, whilst packed seabird cliffs contrasted with huge amounts of activity and moments to explore the relationships between arctic species, such as the Arctic fox scavenging below these impending faces.
