"Life at the Edge: The Big Thaw," more than 50 photographs of the environment supporting animal life in the Arctic, opens Thursday at Meridian International Center in Northwest Washington.
The show highlights the photos of National Geographic's Paul Nicklen, who grew up on Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada.
"The Inuit taught me how to survive in the Arctic, read the weather and, most of all, they taught me patience," Nicklen says on his Web site. "As a kid, without television, radio and computer games, my friends and I would spend all of our waking hours in the hills watching wildlife, weather and the light play shadow games across the landscape. At that young age, the seed to become a nature photographer was deeply planted."
The free exhibit is at Meridian's Cafritz Galleries in the White-Meyer House, 1624 Crescent Pl. NW, through Jan. 20. It's open Wednesdays through Sundays, 2 to 5 p.m. School tours are available. For reservations or other information: 202-939-5568.
