Book Review of Galen Rowell's Poles Apart: Postcards from the Ends of the Earth: A Sierra Club Portfolio

JaneEire avatar reviewed on


From the icy spires of Antartica's Mount Erebus to a dog team and rider on the snowy barrens of the Arctic, from cavorting penguins to a polar bear family sharing some quiet time, Galen Rowell has traveled literally to the ends of the Earth to bring us this stunning collection of 22 ready-to-mail postcards. This collection will surprise and delight with its powerful, beautiful, and sometimes whimsical visions of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, as seen through the lens of America's premier outdoor photographer.
