On September 21st and 22nd, 2023, staff and students from four UAMN research collections excavated a humpback whale skeleton on the UAF campus. This, of course, is not its usual habitat. This was not an ancient, fossilized animal. The skeleton, salvaged from the beach at Kincaid Park, Cook Inlet, in southcentral Alaska, was brought by museum staff to Fairbanks and buried in sand for more than six years in order to allow for the continued natural decomposition of the remaining soft tissues. Maybe not all the remaining soft tissues. More on that in this episode.
The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
