Composed of a series of murals, Le Monde Polaire depicts a documentary and historical aspect of the overlapping of ancestral Inuit culture with the new civilization of the time. One of the murals conveys this ambiguity by portraying a village replete with numerous aspects of traditional Inuit culture alongside the presence of modern technologies that were replacing, for better or worse, the age-old ingenuity of the Inuit. The other carvings evoke scenes of traditional life such as hunting, travelling by dogsled, and building igloos.

The mural was created for the Toundra Restaurant in the Canadian pavilion at Expo 67.
