From Brooklyn to the North Pole follows Leonard Sussman’s 52-day NSF sponsored trip in September and October 2022 on the USCGC icebreaker Healy from Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands to the North Pole. The landscape images, combined with the text and images of the science work on the ship give an honest and sobering view of the growing effects of climate change on these ephemeral landscapes.
Leonard Sussman has been a photographer for over 60 years and has participated in numerous individual and group exhibits in the United States and Europe. Sussman was represented by the Witkin Gallery in New York for many years until its closure.
