Jon Waterman

Photographer

Jon Waterman found his calling as a writer while shooting photographs on expeditions more than four decades ago. He has shot and written television films, including “The Logan Challenge,” “Surviving Denali,” “Odyssey Among the Inuit,” “ANWR Trek," and "Chasing Water." Jon is known for his Northern explorations, detailed in many of his books and countless journals since 1978. Beginning in 2007, the rivers of the Southwest began to call, with an extended journey and National Geographic Society research projects. His latest book, Into The Thaw, recounts how his return to the Arctic after 30 years left him shocked by its change, but also renewed with drive and hope.
