John Carroll University is pleased to host this exhibit of stunning photographs by nationally acclaimed photographer, Subhankar Banerjee. The exhibit contains forty-nine photographs documenting the ecological diversity and native cultures
of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in all four seasons of the year.

In October 2000, Banerjee started a project to record the biodiversity and the indigenous cultures of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge contains the complete arctic and sub-arctic ecological zones from coastal tundra to mountains to taiga and boreal forest, making it one of the last untouched
arctic ecosystems in the world.

For two years Banerjee traveled some 4,000 miles on foot, raft, kayak, snowmobile, and bush planes, visually recording this extraordinary area. He survived blizzards with negative-40 degree temperatures to photograph and document the yearly cycles of the arctic animals, plants, birds, water, and
indigenous peoples—the Inupiat Eskimos and Gwich’in Athabascans of this remote land.

This exhibit is designed and produced by the California Academy of Science, San Francisco, California.
