SEPTEMBER—Climate Change
 Polar Thaw: Global Warming in the Artic and Antarctic
This spectacular photographic exhibition features over 30 striking photographs focusing on the environmental consequences of a steadily warming Earth—the result of rising concentrations of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gasses in the atmosphere.
Award-wining photographer Gary Braasch’s beautiful images show the effects on these icy landscapes and their inhabitants, including polar bears, caribou, penguins, and people.
Open September 21– November 16, 2003.
This exhibition was developed by Gary Braasch n collaboration with The Field Museum and with the support of the Natural Resources Defence Council. Local support has been provided by the City of Chicago, Richard M. Daley, Mayor and Department of Environment, N. Marcia Jimenez, Commissioner.
