60 degrees north Phil Brooks Book
by Phil Brooks

"Phil Brooks has long been intrigued by the idea of the North and the appeal of cold, often inhospitable environments. After initially considering how ‘the North’ might be defined, the artist decided to explore those countries, landscapes and communities that could be found 60 degrees North of the equator.

He then embarked upon a physical and spiritual journey that began on the Siberian border with Norway, through Scandinavia, to the Scottish Islands and beyond to the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Northern Canada and Southern Alaska.

Through Brooks’ extraordinary photographs and compelling commentary, we are able to share some of his experiences and develop a greater understanding of the lands and the people who occupy this northernmost part of the world."
