The Changing Arctic

 This sculpture is called Rookery.

Here we have items made from caribou.

This is the brain casing of a beached bowhead whale.

While here we have a polar bear.

Things have changed in the Arctic- millions of years ago it was warmer, and dinosaurs roamed the region. Even after their days were done, the warmth continued, and other organisms thrived here.

This is the skeleton of a modern camel. The camel originated in the Americas before spreading back into what we would now call the Old World. The High Arctic Camel, an extinct species, would have been thirty percent bigger than these.
