Florian featured in the New York Times

Some of Florians Alaska images and videos were published on the New York Times Website as part of the "America´s wildest place is open for business" article about the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Or as quoted in the article it is known (or unknown) as the wildest place in America that you’ve never heard of.

Excerpt from the NYT-article:

In the far north lies one of the largest complex of wetlands in all of the Arctic — an expanse of ponds, streams and marshes larger than Delaware. The centerpiece is the shallow Teshekpuk Lake, larger in area than Lake Tahoe.

Teshekpuk and the area surrounding it is vital to a rich array of birds that journey there from around the world — from ducks and geese to shorebirds, gulls and jaegers, according to a 2013 study in the journal Conservation Biology. Every spring at least 29 species of shorebirds — perhaps six million of them — land there from other continents to breed, nest and raise their young. It’s an international nursery, at the edge of the continent.
