Arctic adventures

Tour guide and photographer Rick Tomlinson shares his shots of the wildlife and landscapes of the high Arctic

- Rick Tomlinson

I specialize in guiding sailing and high-latitude private photography expeditions on vessels that explore remote areas, offering advice to passengers, and documenting their voyage for books and photo albums.

This series was taken while guiding on two different high-latitude assignments while working as a guide with Secret Atlas, who provide small-ship micro-cruise expeditions to the remote areas of the Arctic: one in Svalbard/ Spitsbergen, the other in Greenland. Each of these excursions lasted about two weeks.

In my work with Secret Atlas, we sail on private voyages with just 12 passengers, which brings us closer to nature and wildlife, allowing for a more personal travel and photography experience.
