The Arctic is changing faster than any other place on the planet. These changes are directly linked to a warming climate. The Arctic Documentary Project documents the scientists, Indigenous people, wildlife, and landscapes of the Far North and provides access to world-class photography to benefit Arctic conservation. Polar Bears International and other scientific and educational outlets have access to these materials to help inspire the general public to take action on f climate change.

The Arctic Documentary Project is a fiscally sponsored project of Polar Bears International (PBI). Contributions to the project are processed by PBI in support of the project.

Humble Beginnings

The Arctic Documentary Project began with the donated still images of the late Dr. Dan Guravich. His vision along with the hard work of Robert and Carol Buchanan provided the foundation for Polar Bears International. Photographer Daniel J. Cox conceived of the Arctic Documentary Project to continue producing visual records of the North that are used to educate and inspire viewers. All photos and videos produced by the Arctic Documentary Project are available free of charge to Polar Bears International and other scientific and educational partners.
