Críticas:

..".likely to be his third National Geographic blockbuster...a photo panorama of the vast spaces traveled by early Nordic explorers"--Dallas Morning News ..".breaks through the misconception that the Arctic is barren and colorless. The images Haas makes are awash in red, blue and orange--not just black and white--and full of the natural world that National Geographic books do so well." -The Sunday Oregonian "Daredevil aerial photographer Robert Haas probably could have had a circus career if he hadn't chosen photography. He apparently thinks nothing of hanging outside a plane or helicopter to get just the right shot. And get them he does...showcases Earth's astonishing beauty and variety from perches most mere mortals would never dare...Haas...is also a terrific writer. -Dallas Morning News Sunday Gift Guide, Kansas City Star (12/19) "For most of us, there is probably no part of the world less familiar than the area beyond the Arctic Circle. As Haas' photos reveal, it's not a bleak expanse of snow and ice but a starkly beautiful land carved by glaciers, currents, and wind." -Entertainment Weekly "Aerial photographer Haas continues his magnificent Through the Eyes series, following volumes on Africa and Latin America with an on-the-wing tour of the Arctic Circle." -Booklist "What is left to challenge a man who has made a fortune in mergers and acquisitions and established an international reputation as an aerial photographer? For Robert B. Haas, the next frontier was the Arctic...Haas operates from a helicopter with the door removed, with only a leather harness separating him from security and a face-to-face meeting with his subject matter...likely to be his third National Geographic blockbuster...a photo panorama of the vast spaces traveled by early Nordic explorers." -Dallas Morning News

Reseña del editor:

Haas trains his lenses on the regions that transect the Arctic Circle. His latest project yields stunning images that show not a "blinding storm of white" as one might think-but rather, a dramatic and surprising diversity of brilliant colors and unexpected subjects.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
