Irving Arts Center: Polar Obsession: Photographs by Paul Nicklen - Irving

Showing thru Jan. 31. More than 50 photographs by Paul Nicklen that take the visitor on a visual journey through the Arctic and Antarctic regions, studying wildlife on both ice and the sea. His photography of icy landscapes, polar bears, walrus, leopard seals, penguins and more, illustrates both his passion for the environment and a deep commitment to conservation. As the Earth's warming trend threatens the ice upon which the Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems depend, Nicklen urgently hopes his skills as a wildlife journalist will inspire stewardship of the rare, remote and threatened at the Earth's extremes.
