About This Event

What does a changing Arctic sound like? Dive deep into the frozen waters of Ulukhaktok (in the Northwest Territories of Canada) alongside conservationist and researcher Kyrin Pollock. In a world hidden from sight, Pollock uses acoustic technology to capture the sounds of the Arctic Ocean and its marine inhabitants. Discover how rising underwater noise is affecting animal behavior, and see how Inuit communities are combining traditional knowledge and science to protect these marine animals.
