Incredible photography! KUDOS!

This is the most remarkable Arctic book you can buy. It is physically huge! It is a coffee table book if you have big, robust coffee table. I have never seen so many full page and double page photos in a book before. It was produced in Italy, and the picture quality is astounding. Hundreds of images of the Inuit, their ice cave homes, hunting, dogs, Eskimo carvings, family life, etc. Worth every penny!Bravo! An amazing man, an amazing collection of his great images.
