More Accolades for Wildlife Photographer Paul Nicklen

by admin ~ November 5th, 2007

Paul Nicklen has previously been recognized for his outstanding photography in the Canadian Arctic, and was the recipient of two World Press photo honors. His essay on the return of Narwhals to their summer grounds around Baffin Island (and the hunting of Narwhals for food and ivory) appears in the August 2007 issue of the National Geographic Magazine. The web feature includes photos and fieldnotes in pursuit of this enigmatic and shy whale, whose spiraled tusk is still a mystery to scientists. For many Inuit, the return of the tusked whale is a important mainstay to their diet and northern livelihood. The photo “Breath Taking” won top honors in the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition for 2007.
