Fractured: North Dakota's Oil Boom

We preview a new Field Museum exhibition on North Dakota's recent fracking boom.
In a new Field Museum exhibition, a Chicago photographer teams with a nationally known journalist to document and explore the North Dakota oil boom. Hydraulic fracturing – or fracking – has just passed the Illinois House legislature, and the controversial drilling practice will soon have implications for the state. We get a preview of Fractured: North Dakota's Oil Boom.
