Arctic Alphabet : Exploring the North from A to Z

Wildlife photographer and science writer Wayne Lynch takes us to one of his favorite parts of the world: the Arctic. Using a plant, an animal or a phenomenon of the Far North for each letter of the alphabet, he describes the unique ways of life in a land where temperature and light can be amazingly extreme. By introducing us to the birds, mammals, insects and plants which thrive in the short yet glorious sun-filled days of summer, Lynch also shows us that the Arctic is more than just a perpetually frozen landscape.
