Event Description
This traveling exhibition, organized by Museum executive director Jill Hartz, documents one of the Earth’s remaining natural ecosystems – the headwaters of the Amazon River in Peru. Over a series of years, beginning in 2003, noted National Geographic photographer Sam Abell traveled along the Amazon taking photographs of its wild beauty. The resulting images by Abell and his colleague, Torben Nissen, a noted wildlife photographer and experienced guide, provide rare insight into a remote and untouched landscape and the creatures that inhabit its dangerous rainforest and waters. Through their photographs and Abell’s first-hand commentary, we experience the challenges and epiphanies of their journey and come to respect the power of the Amazon and its inestimable value to life on this planet.
