Ice Age Glacial Exhibit (Museum of the Earth)

The Museum of the Earth (part of PRI in Ithaca) features the Ice Age Glacial Exhibit, devoted to the last Ice Age in New York’s prehistory. Its centerpiece is a walk-through replica of a glacial ice cave with translucent blue “ice” walls and dripping-water sound effects. The tunnel leads to a reconstructed mastodon skeleton – fittingly placed at the end of the artificial ice cavern – and is surrounded by interactive displays about glaciers’ impacts on climate, ecosystems, and geology
