Great concept, wonderfully executed.

Lauri has a great eye and turned her opportunity to visit the Arctic and Antarctic into a great concept for a book of photos. You get to see similar scenes in the two different places side by side, and learn a little along the way. I especially enjoyed comparing shots of wildlife in the two regions, such as various penguins in the Antarctic with guillemots and ducks in the Arctic. ~ B.S.

Amazing photography.

The visuals this book produces are really stunning. I’ve never been to either Pole and this talented photographer makes me want to go. I love the way she sees the world and its comparisons, not just in this book, but in all of her photography. Buy this beautiful book today! ~ P.C.

The thoughtful words and amazing images make this one a winner.

I’ve been following Lauri‘s photography for over 10 years. I find this book very compelling because it illustrates the similarities between literally the opposite end of the Earth. I found it to be very meaningful, not only due to the stunning beauty of these images. Truly striking work, honestly. But it carries a deeper message to me. In these polarizing times here in the US, it’s so critical to look for the similarities rather than focusing on our differences. I had put this book on my Christmas gift list and then I couldn’t wait and bought it for myself. And I’m so glad I did. 10/10 recommend buying for yourself or as a gift. ~ L.L.C.

Polar Opposites is a unique book worth reading.

This brilliant book, called Polar Opposites, is such a beautiful, unique compilation of photographs of the North and South Polar regions that I’ve never seen in person. Through her stories in this book, Lauri Novak has introduced me to these incredibly stunning landscapes and mesmerizing bodies of water, similar to each other but at opposite ends of the earth. I am honored to have received a copy of this book. I recommend it highly and I know that you will love it as much as I do! ~ A.M.


Quality, beautiful art. Stunning.

I absolutely love this photographer. She has captured breathtaking moments that truly come to life on the page. Nice stock, quality paper, sturdy bound. I’m in awe of the simplicity and photographic similarities she captured. Simply beautiful scenes and lighting. The anecdotes are warm-hearted and thought-provoking. Highly recommend this book for your coffee table. You will not be disappointed! ~ L.B.
