The Arctic islands are characterised by beautiful mountains and glaciers, in which the wildlife lives in delicate balance with its environment. It is a region with a long history of exploration and exploitation by humans, now experiencing rapid environmental change. This volume provides an insight into how the Arctic landscape has evolved and is continuing to be influenced by a wide-range of processes at the Earth's surface, both natural and man-made. It is richly illustrated with superb photographs from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Greenland, Svalbard and the Russian Arctic.
