From the organizer:

You are invited to a photo exhibition “Accessible Arctic”. These spectacular photos of Canada’s Arctic were assembled and curated by the Canadian Museum of Nature together with Canadian Geographic.

The photos in the “Accessible Arctic” exhibition are reflections of how the North has always been at the very heart of Canadian identity. Canada’s Arctic makes up over 40% of Canada’s landmass and is home to more than 100,000 Canadians. Northerners, including indigenous peoples, who comprise 80 percent of the population in some regions, have brought a number of issues to the world’s attention: the dangers and challenges posed by climate change; the need for sustainable economic development; and the importance of sharing experiences and knowledge with our circumpolar neighbours and the world.
