Photography by Andrew Crowley '11
Andrew Crowley ’11 spent much of the past summer roaming the Siberian Arctic to study the effects of climate change on the environment as part of the Polaris Project.
Traveling with the biology and Russian double major was an international team of scientists, including William Sobczak, an associate professor of biology at Holy Cross, who has been a primary investigator on the project since its inception in 2008.
As the team traveled throughout Siberia, Crowley snapped hundreds of photos. A sampling of the photos, along with descriptions by Crowley, show some of the things they encountered and experienced, including the tusk of a baby mammoth, a prehistoric horse jaw, a swarm of mosquitoes, and a breathtaking panoramic view of their back yard.
