'Svalbard' came into being after a boat trip from Zeeland to Spitsbergen in 2016. In this photo book, visual artist and graphic designer Dolf Middelhoff shows us a world that may not exist for much longer. The archipelago is suffering from climate change. Glaciers are shrinking rapidly; the snow melts earlier in the year and temperatures are rising alarmingly fast. Images of the pack ice show in a disconcerting way that the ice increasingly shrinks in summer.
During his journey in 2016, Dolf made beautiful photographs of this special group of islands in the Arctic Ocean. The series not only shows us the climate disaster, but also offers us the chance to still enjoy a world that is in danger of disappearing.
