Arctic Kaleidoscope at the Museum of Nature

Ottawa photographer Michelle Valberg travelled to Canada's north sixteen times and took 60,000 photos of this wondrous part of our world. It was a very special evening last Monday night, as Michelle was on hand for a sneak preview of her Museum of Nature Exhibit: 'Arctic Kaleidoscope: The People, Wildlife and Ever Changing Landscape'. The exhibit features over 80 photos that will take your breath away. Michelle's works serve to remind of us the resilience of the people of Canada's north, proudly living their lives in the midst of an often unforgiving climate. You will see images of walrus, ptarmigans, and perhaps the biggest animal star of them all: the majestic polar bear. Wildly colorful spans of tundra and sea and the fragile floe edge, all aspects of Canada's north have become works of art through Michelle's true gift, and we are thrilled that she is sharing that gift with us. 'Arctic Kaleidoscope' is now open at the Museum of Nature, details here:
