With the Arctic warming three to four times faster than the rest of the world, future predictions of an ice free Arctic are clearly seen by some as an economic opportunity rather than a catastrophe that should be avoided. Those that desire to control a warming Arctic and the natural resources that may become more accessible as a consequence of such warming, view the Arctic as just another commodity to be exploited.

Wildlife photography is easy, right? Just look at all the images on Instagram! There is more to making great wildlife images than just using the longest lens you have available.

When I first started travelling to Africa, I had a series of images, a “shot list”, that I had in mind that I would like to make. Over the years, I have managed to make some of these images whilst adding many more to the list. Amongst these images are the iconic images of African wildlife silhouetted against an intense red sunrise or sunset.
