The International Arctic Research Center is showing its stripes with a bold 40-foot-long
hallway installation. The myriad of red and blue vertical bands makes a rainbow-like
bar code representing Arctic temperatures from 1900 to 2021. The trend in the Arctic

been above average for nearly three decades.
