The North Pole, the magical kingdom of silence, has always given the
impression that it would remain unchanged forever amidst its boundless
tracts of ice. But the ice is beginning to melt, the icebergs of
Greenland are breaking up and this legendary landscape, threatened by
global warming, is gradually being destroyed. As early as the spring of
1987, Francis Latreille began to take photographs of the frozen waste of
the Arctic, providing moving testimony to this alien, yet at the same
time enchanting, world, and also to his admiration for those who dwell
in these inhospitable regions, and their demanding way of life. Through
this album, on the eve of the fourth International Polar Year, ?he pays
tribute to the white paradise and its magical light, and to all those
who live in or study the Arctic.
