International Antarctic Centre
Informative, exciting and altogether Antarctic!
Explore our indoor attraction which is packed full of informative displays showcasing modern day Antarctica, including the Antarctic Treaty partners, the human impact on the continent, the wildlife and plant systems and Antarctica's effect on the globe. Our gallery area encourages 'touching' of most of the exhibits to ensure visitors experience Antarctica in a fun and interactive way.
Visitors conclude their Antarctic journey with a 17 minute sound and light show "Beyond the Frozen Sunset". Filmed by Emmy award winning film maker, Mike Single, it follows a seasonal arc from sunset to sunrise, weaving in stunning footage shot by mounting a camera to the underside of a helicopter.
This majestic audio visual show captivates its audience and leaves visitors with a moving experience of "having been there".
