Next in my Canada 🇨🇦 series: the Northwest Territories with its territorial symbols the gyrfalcon and mountain avens flowers on my hand-carved linocut map of NWT. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, gray-brown, green and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

❄️🌿 The Glacier’s Green Series - 3/10
🌼 Dryas Octopetala (Mountain Avens)
ℹ️ The Mountain Avens is a delightful flower found in the paraglacial zones of Europe and North America, notably around the Swiss Alps and the Brooks Range in Alaska. This plant plays a crucial role in stabilizing soil in glacial moraines.
🔥 As glaciers retreat, Mountain Avens are affected by the changing microclimates & increased competition from other species moving into newly exposed areas.
