Photographing the Beauty of the North (24 photos)
Today is the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, which was organized in 1970 to remember and appreciate the environment, and our responsibilities and roles within it. On such a day, I thought it would be appropriate to feature some of the remarkable work of Olivier Morin, a photographer with Agence France-Presse, who spends a great deal of time capturing beautiful images of the natural world, largely focusing on northern climates. Gathered below are some of Morin’s photos of the people, animals, and landscapes of the Earth’s arctic and subarctic regions.

This underwater picture shows a female killer whale with scars near its dorsal fin, patrolling near Skjervøy Fjord, in northern Norway within the Arctic Circle, on November 11, 2024. Dozens of killer whales and their clans follow schools of herring gathering in the fjords of northern Norway from October to January, on the hunt. More frequent northerly sightings suggest that orcas are learning to adapt to the rapidly melting waters of the Arctic Ocean. ( Olivier Morin / AFP / Getty)
