6:00 p.m.	Guided Tour of the Exhibit “The Arctic: A Friend Acting Strangely” by Dr. Igor Krupnik, Arctic Ethnology Curator Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (10th and Constitution Ave., NW, 2nd floor) This exhibit, part of the new Smithsonian environmental series "Forces of Change," was prepared by a team of Smithsonian arctic specialists and exhibit developers in partnership with NOAA, NASA, and NSF. Unveiled to the public on April 15, 2006, it examines the dramatic changes that have taken place in the Arctic's climate and environment during the past 50 years. It tells the story of the changing Arctic as seen through the eyes of northern residents and polar scientists alike. The exhibit will be on display until November 2006 in conjunction with another exhibit, "Atmosphere: Change is in the Air," developed by the Smithsonian in partnership with NASA Goddard's Aura Satellite Mission.
