Arctic magazine releases swimsuit edition
July 16th, 2010 | By Nora Sawyer | Filed in Current Events
Up Here magazine, a northern culture, travel and lifestyle magazine, has released a swimsuit issue in order to draw attention to climate change and the warming Arctic.
The issue, which features women from northern Canada posing in swimsuits among some of the north’s most threatened landscapes, is generating some controversy. Some feel that a swimsuit issue is too flippant a way of drawing attention to the issue of global warming and that the photos exploit women.
More than just a collection of titillating images, the issue also features testimony from both northerners and scientists concerning the effects of climate change on the Canadian north.
