North Pole

© Riverboom

Riverboom’s Claude Baechtold went for a four weeks journey to Siorapaluk, the most northern village in the world. There he reorganized the Inuit world into visual categories and eventually produced the North Pole Baechtold's best travel book, the ultimate visual travel guide.

Are you looking for the best igloo, a kebab of dovekies (small artic birds) or the most beautiful iceberg in the world? You'll find it in this unique work. It will take you on a visionary and epic sleigh journey across the great Northern ice flows. It paints a portrait of the facetious Eskimos and their colorful igloos that invite you to chew polar bear jerky and savor the stews of seals cooked with cranberries. Come inside to discover how the locals dress, how they fish, have fun, and recycle fridges thanks to global warming. You’ll be taken on a refreshing journey through 282 unique images.
