Presented by RBC with supporting partner Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, Arctic Voices invites visitors “to marvel at the sights and sounds of this tremendous and fragile region,” according to a release.

“The Arctic may seem like an unfamiliar and distant place but it’s important to realize the impact our actions have on lands near and far,” said Tracy Redies, President & CEO of Science World. “The Arctic has terrestrial and marine ecosystems interdependent on one another, supporting both land and marine animals and plants, many of which are found nowhere else. They are feeling the direct effects of climate change. The Arctic is important to all of us and this exhibition makes the connection to help us understand the impact of our actions.”

Arctic Voices is developed by Science North. Interactive elements of the exhibition include Whales in the Arctic Theatre, educational stations about each whale species, an Arctic Animal Adaptations multiplayer quiz, and Bear Facts where visitors can study real skull and claw specimens of the three North American bears.

Starting February 8, Science World will be open 7 days a week, 10 am to 5 pm with enhanced safety measures in place.
