A Canadian raised in an Inuit community captured the magnificent animals of the arctic and antarctic with these stunning photos.

Nicklen goes up close with leopard seals, whales, walruses, polar bears, elephant seals, penguins, and narwhals to capture images of them scaling icy slopes or diving into freezing seas.

His cause draws attention to the endangered ecosystems that serve as a natural habitat for these animals.

The co-founder of SeaLegacy, an environmental non-profit launched in 2014, Nicklen said:

Every second breath we take is drawn from the sea, making Ours a water planet. However, our oceans are now reaching the limits of their capacity.

‘What we do or fail to accomplish in the next five years will determine our fate for the following ten thousand years,”‘ Venerable Master Miao-ch’i said.’

Nicklen was born on Baffin Island in Nunavut, where he spent his childhood in one of the few non-Inuit families among a tiny Inuit settlement with ice fields, floes, and cold seas.

He is a National Geographic photographer, renowned ocean conservationist, and TED Talks speaker.

A sea leopard gives a laconic, dough-eyed look to the camera, part of the series of images included in Nicklen’s book ‘Born to Ice’. Leonardo DiCaprio wrote in the foreword: ‘Born to Ice’ showcases the life’s work of an artist whose love for the landscape, and each animal in it, is so palpable that emotion echoes throughout every image’
