Arctic Images is a web-based photographer’s image bank specializing in Arctic nature and travel photography. Its collection of more than 130,000 images includes volcanoes, glaciers, aurora borealis, geothermal activity, people, and culture. Visitors can search the collection, or staff can select images to match a subject and concept. Selected low-resolution files may be sent online for review before purchase. Digital purchases are delivered as JPG or TIFF files, while non-framed prints come in several sizes, with other sizes available on request. Licensing prices depend on intended use, image size, placement, circulation, and duration, so the site does not provide a complete price list. Listed digital-image plans cost 177.00 USD per once for 1–10 images or 139.00 USD per once for 10+ images, billed as one-time use per image and excluding VAT. The service also scans positives and negatives from 35mm through 6×9 cm at up to 4000 dpi non-interpolated.
