As a pedagogical tool, Nicklen artwork and philosophy can fit perfectly in Science. It can be used to teach kids in 2nd grade, for example:

- OA 5: observe and identify some native animals that are in danger of extinction, also the deterioration of their habitat, proposing ideas to protect them.
- OA 4: Observe and compare characteristics of different types of habitats, identifying luminosity, humidity, and temperature necessary for the survival of animals that live in it.

- OA 6: Identify and communicate the effects of human activity on animals and their habitats

It can also work in civic education. In 5º grade in OA 22, it says that students have to inform themselves and have opinions about relevant topics in Chile and the world by using news and TIC.

With 5º graders, using OA 22 in civic education:
For one semester each student the first week of every month must bring a piece of news or information they found on the news, social networks,internet, etc, about climate change. It can be about how it has affected animals, projects that are working to take care of a situation made by climate change, etc. Every student must read this piece of news to their classmates, and then put it on a board that will be inside the classroom for everyone to see, so that at the end of the semester there will be many news about the subject

Paul Nicklen: Animal tales from icy wonderlands

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Diving under the Antarctic ice to get close to the much-feared leopard seal, photographer Paul Nicklen found an extraordinary new friend. Share his hilarious, passionate stories of the polar wonderlands, illustrated by glorious images of the animals who live on and under the ice.

Paul Nicklen describes his most amazing experience as a National Geographic photographer - coming face-to-face with one of Antarctica's most vicious predators.

With 2º graders, using OA 5 in science:

Start the activity by asking the students if they know what being in danger of extinction is, and if someone doesn't know, then explain. Then ask if someone knows any species of animals in danger of extinction.
After, form small groups and give each group an animal that is in danger of extinction and tell them to investigate about the animal: Where they live, What they eat, what is making them be in danger of extinction and what actions could they do to protect them.
After they finish this project each group will expose their animal and investigation to the class.

Elements and principles of art in his work

# data[].attributes.body
Since Paul Nicklen takes Photos of nature you can see many of de principles of art in his work.

1. Variety: Since it is nature he captures you can observe the natural harmony between elements in his work.

2. Movement: His photos normally tell a story, you specially see movement in his pictures of animals, since he captures them in their natural environment they are normally moving.

3. Repetition: In his artwork usually you can see a repetition of colors and different elements like the pictures under the water. Since most of his photos are taken in an artic space, the colors and views are very similar.

4. Scale: His artwork shows a natural scale because it is always something real like animals or landscapes, etc.

He creates photography which informs and creates an emotional connection with wild subjects in extreme conditions. He aims to create intimate and powerful images of iconic wildlife.

To create this he works in some of Earth’s most remote and extreme environments, where he faces incredible hardships and personal danger, both above and underwater. The result of this is an emotional and shocking image that captures the beauty of the environment where the wildlife lives.
“If you want to shoot the best photography of a particular ecosystem, you have to be comfortable wherever you are,” says Nicklen. “If that’s 150ft deep under the ice, you can’t be sitting there fighting for survival. You need to free up your mind.” Wearing a rebreather to avoid producing bubbles, he stays submerged for up to six hours, submitting himself to the same conditions inhabited by his favorite species. To Nicklen, the Arctic is not a forbidding, alien landscape, but a spiritual home: “I’m far more comfortable around bears than, say, on the streets of New York.”

Paul Nicklen was born on July 21, 1968, in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Canada. When he was 4 years old he moved with his family to Kimmirut, on Baffin Island, Northern Canada, this was a remote village, where he spent his childhood among the Inuit people.
Nicklen is a Photographer and marine biologist and has specialized in photographing polar regions since 1995. He has spent the majority of his adult life working in the Arctic and Antartica, working with National Geographic, where he has published more than 20 stories.
He has also published 3 books, has done many talks, including a TED talk. He has also won many awards, some of them from world press photo.
In 2014 he co-founded sea legacy, which is an organization that uses visual storytelling and photography to advocate the cause of ocean conservation.
He currently lives on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada.

The end goal of his work is to have the opportunity to educate and inspire people about the front line of conservation. “Photography has the power to break down the walls of apathy,” he says, “to grab people at the heart and then teach them something. You can change their minds, but you have to make that emotional connection first.”He believes that change can begin with one photograph of one individual creature.

Through his work, he wants to show the future that faces the Arctic and Antarctic habitats if urgent action isn’t taken. He says that there is life in the ice and that this ice is part of the entire ecosystem that supports artic life, he says: "I call myself an interpreter and a translator". “I translate what the scientists are telling me. If we lose ice, we stand to lose an entire ecosystem. I hope we can realize through my photography how interconnected these species are to ice. It just takes one image to get someone’s attention."
He doesn´t only know of this because of his title as a marine biologist since when he was a child he has lived near the arctic circle and has seen the climate change and how it affects the wildlife.
Nicklen has covered a variety of natural history and conservation issues, from the slaughter of narwhals to the environmental impact of salmon farming to the importance of sea ice and polar ecosystems. He is constantly traveling to find meaningful stories to share and create conscience and public knowledge.
