A pair of walruses (RIGHT) rests on an ice floe in Foxe Basin, Nunavut, in
this Paul Nicklen photograph published in the March/April
2002 issue of Canadian Geographic. In celebration of its 80th
anniversary, The Royal Canadian
Geographical Society, in partnership with the Canadian Museum of Nature,
is launching a travelling photography exhibit on the Canadian Arctic. It’s
a retrospective of some of the best photography of the landscapes, wildlife
and people of the North to have been featured in the magazine over the past
eight decades. The exhibit opens June 4 at Canada House in London, England,
and runs until Nov. 13. It will travel to other locations until 2011.
