evgenia arbugaeva's arctic photography
There might not be a pudgy old man with a red suit and a band of nimble-fingered elves, but these images from the Siberian town of Tiksi are as close to the North Pole as it gets.
There might not be a pudgy old man with a red suit and a band of nimble-fingered elves, but these images from the Siberian town of Tiksi are as close to the North Pole as it gets.
Returning to her hometown on the shores of the Arctic after almost 20 years, Russian photographer Evgenia Arbugaeva captures Tiksi's beauty rather brilliantly, from the vast expanses of icy tundra to the striking colours of the buildings and the life of nomadic tribes of reindeer herders. Her snaps are also a bit of a journey through her surreal childhood memories, with just a touch of inspiration from oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
Be transported into her snowy fairytale world through the rest of her snaps, over here.
