Polar Dance has been chosen for inclusion in a unique collection that represents the 40 most important nature photographs of all time.

Very cool.
I bought an original Polar Dance for Honeybunch back in the 1980's from Mangelsen's Park City Utah gallery.
I guess I should'a bought a few more!


THOMAS D. MANGELSEN'S Images of Nature
"Tom is pleased to announce Polar Dance has been chosen for inclusion in a unique collection that represents the 40 most important nature photographs of all time.

In celebration of Earth Day’s 40th anniversary, the International League of Conservation Photographers, a fellowship of the top professional conservation photographers, was recruited to nominate nature photographs that member photographers considered to be “the best”.

The Top Forty nominations represent a diverse spectrum of styles and genres spanning over 100 years of photography history, and include spectacular images of animals, plants and natural landscapes.

These Top Forty iconic nature photographs are a part of Christie’s Green Auction in support of Conservation International, Oceana, Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Central Park Conservancy.

Christie’s Green Auction: A Bid to Save the Earth will be held on April 22nd at Christie’s in New York and will be carried live beginning at 7:30 pm EST on www.christies.com. A companion silent auction is being hosted at www.abidtosavetheearth.org April 8th through May 6th.
Tom has generously donated a signed, framed Artist Proof print of Polar Dance.
