The idea behind this book is to provide a visual impression of arctic science in pictures. As scientists, we normally tell stories in words, figures and tables in scientific papers, in textbooks, at lectures and in popular science articles. However, many of us – if not all of us – have also experienced the Arctic through our cameras; both for more technical, research related pictures and for pictures simply catching the beauty of our workplace and what surrounds it.

For this book we have chosen 107 pictures to tell 107 different stories – every picture in the book is a story of its own – about arctic science, arctic landscapes, arctic nature and the people living there.
