In a polar world at the very top of the Earth, the Arctic encompasses eight nations—Norway, Denmark (including Greenland), Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Canada, the United States, and Russia—where borders dissolve into a shared frontier of ice and snow. The North Pole is draped in an eternal blanket of white, while the surrounding waters cradle spectacular icebergs – each floating cathedral a momentary masterpiece.
