Description

For years, tour guide Daniel Lum has brought visitors in addition to his children out to the remote corners of Barrow, Alaska, one of the most northernmost cities on the earth, to witness polar bears and walrus on the dark, sandy beaches. Over the years, snapping pictures for tourists and shooting photographs of his own, he has been a first-hand witness to the profound environmental changes taking place as his homeland shifts and disappears before his eyes. 

As arguments over climate change rage in more temperate locales, Nuvuk, the Northernmost is a poignant snapshot of life in a town where these changes are inconceivable to disregard. Lum’s vivid photographs of natural world, such as whales, polar bears, and birds, offer rare close-ups of animals few ever see. In addition, Lum provides vivid descriptions and pictures of day by day life in and around Barrow, offering a compelling insider’s introduction to living on the tip of the world. With Lum as a capable guide, Nuvuk, the Northernmost is a possibility to see a rare world before it changes perpetually.
