Review:

The International Antarctic Centre is an interactive museum that takes visitors on a journey to Antarctica, immersing them into the world’s coldest and most remote continent. Located at the International Airport, the center features a range of exhibits and immersive experiences including off-road Hägglund vehicle rides, meeting Huskies, mingling with little blue penguins, and feeling the cold in an indoor Antarctic Storm simulation room. The center is an educational institution for all ages that aims to teach visitors about the fragile environment in Antarctica, the wildlife and ecosystems that call it home, and the human impact on the continent. The International Antarctic Centre is home to the New Zealand, Italian, and American Antarctic Programs.
