Tundra forms are spectacular whether you are in an aircraft looking
down, or peering at a rock through a magnifying glass. The chamber
in the Legislative Assembly Building is a circular room 20m in diameter
and 20m high, with a circular balcony. The arched mural is a celebration
of tundra forms in hammered zinc. Its shape is echoed in the clerks
desk.
