OUR POLAR HERITAGE / Christian Morel
Our Polar Heritage photographic project is proposed by the photographer Christian Morel and the Association Polar Planet. The objective is to work during the 2 years of the IPY to a very large, international, transversal and multidisciplinary set of artistic and professional photographic pictures in the Arctic and the Antarctic. Our Polar Heritage aims to reveal the high precision of the work achieved by women and men under extreme conditions, to illustrate what knowledge of scientific research could change for for us here and for there in the people’s daily life. Our Polar Heritage want to increase public and stake holders awareness of the polar regions and their understanding of the necessity of a planetary sustainable development.
Our Polar Heritage has now started with 300 scientific contacts around the world and will move to the most remote places of the world for number of photographic missions with the international teams working in the polar areas.

Bryan and Cherry Alexander Photography: Arctic and Antarctic Specialists
Bryan and Cherry Alexander have been photographing in Polar Regions since 1971 and both still make several trips a year to keep their photo files up to date. Their images are used in calendars, books, magazines and newspapers worldwide, including The Sunday Times, New Scientist, Science et Avenir, National Geographic, Airone, Smithsonian Magazine and many others.
Bryan specialises in documenting the lives of the indigenous peoples of the Arctic and Sub arctic. He has worked in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and right across the Russian Arctic, often staying in a region for many weeks. He has a number of exhibitions of his images around Europe and Moscow during IPY. Cherry works mostly in areas without indigenous peoples so has recently been working in Antarctica, Svalbard and the East Greenland National Park. The website has over 10,000 images on line and is keyword searchable. If we don’t have the picture you need, we may know someone who has.
Olaf Willoughby
Olaf Willoughby has produced a body of work based on a photographic expedition to the Antarctic. This has been used in a variety of forms; by the WWF on its website and in promotional activity, as magazine articles, as material for speaking engagements and as part of a White Worlds exhibition in Summer 2007 in the UK. The images have also been combined with environmental advocacy in Olaf's book, "Antarctica, A Sense of Place".
