For the first time in their long history, however, Arctic communities are facing the real possibility that the foundations of their way of life--sea ice and permafrost--will soon disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished to coincide with a major exhibition at the British Museum, \u003cem\u003eArctic: culture and climate\u003c\/em\u003e presents the history of the Arctic through the lens of climate and weather, and features a variety of fascinating objects, many of which are published here for the first time, including sealskin kayaks, drums used by shamans, traditional costumes, and contemporary art.
