The climate crisis has caused ice forms in Alaska to disappear at a faster rate than other glacierized regions on Earth. These arctic areas play a crucial role in regulating the planet’s atmosphere and have been called “ground zero” for environmental collapse, as rising temperatures and melting sea ice impact local communities and the global destabilization of weather precipitation. The Matanuska Glacier has lost over 84 million tons of ice since 2002.

This exhibit is an innovative & creative way to address #ClimateChange 🌍

Tell us in the comments below! Our favorite part, aside from the stunning Statue of Liberty and Northern Lights was the raft ride across the water.

It’s just super cool how immersive and accessible art has become!
