Camille Seaman’s shots include poignant images of the likes of polar bears, penguins and melting ice shelves.

Taken over the space of ten years, the impressive collective of photographs highlight the areas natural beauty

The works feature in Camille’s latest book, ‘Melting Away’, which the photographer has been working on since 2003.

The images hope to show the delicacy of the Earth’s polar regions

Released on December 2, the book features images from the Arctic and Antarctic.

Created as a way to highlight global warming, the beautiful images show a fragility to the huge ice caps

Through the images, which are made up of greys and blues, the photographer said she was hoping to create a sense of beauty, but also sadness.

They help highlight the delicacy of the areas – looking to draw attention to the consequences of global warming.

Other locations California-based Camille, 45, visited included Alaska, Greenland, Svalbard, Arctic Russia and Arctic Norway.

Camille, TED senior fellow, said: “I want people to have a personal moment with the images.

“Some feel fear, or awe, others see beauty and sadness.

“I want them to feel something that will hopefully inspire the start of a relationship with this planet.

“The images have a range of responses – some still do not think climate change is anything we should be concerned with.

“Others are thankful I have shown them something they might not ever witness themselves.”
