His multi-year quest to document the Arctic took photographer Florian Schulz to the ends of the Earth.
Florian Schulz camped for weeks in jarring winter conditions, accompanied traditional Inuit hunters and sailed the arctic waters, all to get an intimate look at life in the Arctic. There, Schulz tracked families of polar bears, followed the vast caribou herds, and captured the Northern Lights in stunning detail. Through breathtaking imagery, the National Geographic photographer takes audiences on a legendary journey into the Arctic Kingdom— with a special focus on the Arctic Refuge, one of the world's last great wildernesses.
National Geographic Live speakers share their journeys of exploration from being on assignment around the world. Illustrated with award-winning photography and video, each evening concludes with a speaker-led audience Q&A session.
For its seventh season at the Kauffman Center, National Geographic Live features underwater photographer Brian Skerry (Jan. 9); wildlife photographer Florian Schulz (Feb. 6); marine biologist/photographer Cristina Mittermeier (March 6); and NASA astronaut Terry Virts (May 1). Photographer Pete McBride and writer/filmmaker Kevin Fedarko close the 2018 series with a special engagement event on June 5.
