In Victoria? Curious what goes on in that brick building down in the inner harbour? Come on by our open house, 10am-3pm today and see some of our work on display—3D models, drones and ROVs, plankton under microscopes, archaeological artifacts, and more!

A pinkish-red brick building that houses the Hakai Institute and Tula Foundation stands with a blue sky in the background and an open house sign in front.
A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and drones used by Hakai Institute scientists for geospatial research sit on a table, with display posters showing aerial imagery and terrain models in the background.

NASA Earth Observatory's featured image on Monday was of a familiar favourite sight with Hakai's geospatial team & collaborators, who've surveyed it from the skies many times over the years—Klinaklini Glacier! 📷: Kat Pyne, Steve Beffort, & Grant Callegari earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/15237...
