Hi there!

It is often said that ”knowledge is power” (scientia potentia est) – an aphorism that can be traced back to the English philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon. Deep knowledge does not come easily; it requires hard work and, not least, sacrifices.

In today's discussions and growing interest regarding the Arctic, the northernmost region of our planet, a significant knowledge gap is becoming evident. Political jargon often overshadows reality, driven by selfish economic motives. Such a trend is regrettable for this delicate region, one of the last true wildernesses on Earth.


After five years of dedicated effort, sifting through the latest scientific research and uncovering new historical sources, we have begun shipping this distinctive and substantial publication to every corner of the globe.

 

The IK Foundation's latest publication, Naturae Observatio SPITSBERGEN, is a component in enhancing the world's long-term understanding of this vast region, particularly regarding Spitsbergen/Svalbard. We are therefore pleased that this limited and unique edition has begun shipping to libraries worldwide, offering those interested in the subject a refreshed perspective on the area's fascinating natural and cultural history.

This publication, comprising 400 pages and 46 pages of six large-sized, extended fold-outs, is authored by leading representatives in various scientific fields, hand-bound, and issued in 250 numbered copies.

If you are passionate about the topic and want to secure a copy for yourself or your library, now is the perfect time to take action! For more information on the content and ordering process, click "EXPLORE & ORDER" below to get started.
