Arctic Thaw Up Close
Explore real Ice Age fossils,
ancient ice cores, and engineer-
ing challenges posed by a thaw-
ing arctic at OMSI’s newest ex-
hibit “Under the Arctic: Digging
into Permafrost.”
Addressing the subject of cli-
mate change as viewed through
the lens of a warming arctic us-
ing exciting interactive features,
the exhibit takes you into an
Alaskan permafrost tunnel repli-
ca, fossil research stations and
interactive games.
“Climate change can be hard
to wrap your head around. For a
lot of people who don’t experi-
ence its effects, it feels abstract
or distant – like something in the
future,” said Allyson Woodard,
an exhibit developer with OMSI.
“This exhibit is an opportunity
to make the impacts of climate
change tangible - you can see it,
touch it, and even smell it.”
Permafrost is soil that has
been frozen for at least two
years, and it traps an enormous
amount of carbon dioxide. As
it thaws, carbon is released into
the atmosphere, which in turn
has drastic repercussions for the
planet.
