The Last Polar Bear: Facing The Truth of a Warming World
May 16 - October 3, 2009
The polar bear - an icon in the struggle against climate change - and other ice-dependent species face a precarious future as their Arctic habitat melts away. This exhibit features 45 photographs by Steven Kazlowski, with images taken along the Arctic coast from Canada's Hershel Island to Point Hope, Alaska. Follow the path of these alpha predators, learn about the unique biology of the polar bear and the Arctic web of life to which they belong. Intimate images portray the bears' annual cycle of life from mothers with cubs, to adolescents at play, to adults on the hunt.
Organized by the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington in partnership with Braided River, a branch of The Mountaineers Books in Seattle.
