The book Northern Passages focuses on scientific research, shipping, mythology, and tourism, in the Arctic. This book is a culmination of Lauren Hartman’s research, artwork, and travel to the Arctic tundra and also features museum collaborations. Working together with two Russian curators they organized a traveling exhibition that made its way across Russia to natural history museums in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Murmansk and Polyarny. The book encapsulates the research behind these exhibitions, presenting it in visual and written form. The color photographs in the book show aspects of life in the Arctic tundra in Northwest Russia, a tour of the first nuclear icebreaker, as well as reproductions of each artwork from the traveling exhibition Northern Passages.
