"Sebastian Copeland is a friend who has spent his years living an adventure, traveling to the polar ice, both north and south, warning of systemic transformations taking place from climate deviations and their global implications. His latest photo book, Polar Explorations: To the Ends of the Earth, is a unique and immersive look into the cold art of polar travel and is truly visually stunning." -- Leonardo DiCaprio

The photography is spectacular and moving; his polar treks connect with adventure lovers; and his deep understanding of his subject makes him truly gifted at telling the story of climate change and the struggling polar environment. It is powerful. The kind of combination that changes minds.” — Ted Scambos, PhD, Senior Research Scientist, NSIDC
