In the 1960s, celebrated photographer Fred Bruemmer moved to the Arctic to capture its majestic beauty and rare culture, showcasing intimate moments he spent with the native peoples living, hunting, and surviving in an environment of almost unimaginable harshness.

"Arctic Visions" invites readers to experience a past that has become almost mythological, and one that soon may be hard to believe ever existed.
