Some things bear repeating. I asked Citizen Hunters to consider the book Antarctica after watching my interview with my dear friend Sebastian Copeland and his cousin Orlando Bloom on Extra, but for those who have yet to, I want to tell you why you should.

This book contains quite possibly some of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen. It is a coffee table book that will entertain, inspire, educate, and help save our planet!

Sebastian’s photographs are stunning, haunting, majestic, and painful—they leap from the page and grab your heart and they whisper and shout, Look at me! Look at the beauty that surrounds us, a beauty that is being devastated with every minute of inaction, a beauty that we can ill afford to ignore and lose.

A picture, it is said, is worth a thousand words, some, like these, are worth far more. It was a magical photograph of the earth that started the environmental movement and it's appropriate that photos again present a very powerful and visceral call to action.

This book cannot and should not be missed. Sebastian's photography is complemented by insights and writings detailing scientific data and the journey he took aboard the research vessel, The Ice Lady Patagonia. Many luminaries of the environmental movement also share sage words and the book ends as it should, with steps we can all take to make a difference. A portion of the proceeds goes to benefit Global Green, where Sebastian serves on the board and I serve on the LA committee.
