Continuing on where I left off yesterday, with more of the slabs of ice in the Arctic Gallery. Each night, these slabs are replenished, as meltwater is refrozen onto them.
Moving beyond, the walls are decorated in vivid fashion, the work of an indigenous artist of the north.
The tundra has little time to grow during warm weather, but when it does, it supports a complicated ecosystem.
Display cases include animals and plants of the region.
Muskoxen are among the larger animals of the far north, a hardy herd animal that is made for the place.
Lakes and rivers have their own ecosystem in the Arctic.
I finish today with the King Eider.
