The Last Glaciers of Akshayuk Pass. The Last Glaciers of Akshayuk Pass is a two-volume print portfolio of mixed-media works documenting the glaciers of Akshayuk Pass, Nunavut. The suite records not only a rapidly changing Arctic landscape, but also the considerable physical and logistical demands of conducting fieldwork in this remote region north of the Arctic Circle.
