“Beneath Scoresbysund's benign appearance from the air is a wild native village with high rates of violent crime, alcoholism, and suicide.” This view of a tarnished wilderness in Greenland is one of many striking photographs in Poles Apart Parallel Visions of the Arctic and Antarctic by Galen Rowell.
