Sebastian Copeland is a photographer, explorer, and climate advocate. Noted as a photographer “who has produced works that are of outstanding artistic merit and communicates messages of urgent global significance,” Copeland was named Photographer of the Year four times: in 2007 (IPA) for his first book Antarctica: The Global Warning (Earth Aware 2007); 2016 (TIFA) for his book Arctica: The Vanishing North (teNeues 2015); and twice in 2020 (IPA & TIFA) for his book Antarctica: The Waking Giant (Rizzoli 2020). In 2024, Copeland will release his sixth monogram titled The Arctic: A Darker Shade of White (Rizzoli) with a foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall.
He has also directed two award-winning documentary films chronicling his polar crossings.
Copeland has led expeditions across the Arctic sea, Greenland and Antarctica, and has reached both poles on foot—North and South. With over 10,000 kilometers under his skis, Copeland holds various records and polar “firsts” across the polar region. In 2017, Copeland was named one of 25 of the world’s top adventurers of the last 25 years by Men's Journal.
An international speaker on the climate crisis for more than a decade, Copeland has addressed audiences at the UN, at universities and museums worldwide, and many fortune 500 companies warning of the systemic transformations taking place in the polar regions from anthropogenic activities, and their geopolitical consequences. Copeland spent 15 years on the board of directors of President Gorbachev’s NGO Global Green USA. He is a Fellow of the Explorers Club and a member of the International Glaciology Society and the American Polar Society. He is a founding member of Artists for Amazonia. In 2018, Copeland received the German Bambi award from his environmental engagement. He was knighted twice by French government: in the National Order of Merit, and in the Order of Arts and Letters.
