CALUMET -- Two Michigan Tech wolf-moose researchers and the filmmaker who immortalized their research are mounting an exhibition of some of the best of years of still photography shot at Isle Royale National Park. The show opens at the Omphale Gallery in Calumet with a reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3.
Rolf Peterson and John Vucetich, professors in Michigan Tech University's School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, and producer George Desort will host the reception at the gallery at 431 Fifth St., Calumet. Light appetizers and drinks will be provided at the opening. Their exhibit, called "Isle Royale Wolf and Moose Study Collection," will remain on display through Oct. 31.
