Photographing the Beauty of the North

Today is the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, which was organized in 1970 to remember and appreciate the environment, and our responsibilities and roles within it. On such a day, I thought it would be appropriate to feature some of the remarkable work of Olivier Morin, a photographer with Agence France-Presse, who spends a great deal of time capturing beautiful images of the natural world, largely focusing on northern climates. Gathered below are some of Morin’s photos of the people, animals, and landscapes of the Earth’s arctic and subarctic regions.
