Arctic Adventure: Exploring with Technology invites you on an interactive journey into one of Earth’s most extreme and fragile environments: the North Pole. Step into the role of a modern-day researcher and experience firsthand how cutting-edge tools such as GPS trackers, drones, satellite transmitters, and ice-penetrating radar are revolutionizing our ability to explore this remote, frozen world.

Created in collaboration with Moment Factory, this immersive exhibit brings the wonders of the far north to life through vivid sights, sounds, and touch. Look out over digitally recreated Arctic landscapes, listen to the calls of wild animals, and feel the surface of a real ice wall. Guided by a hands-on field journal, you’ll embark on research missions — from tracking ivory gull migrations and scanning glaciers for hidden crevasses to analyzing ancient volcanic ash trapped in ice cores and rescuing lost supplies in a virtual snowscape.

At every turn, Arctic Adventure transforms visitors from observers into active explorers. Through engaging storytelling and interactive learning, discover how scientists monitor melting glaciers, observe polar bears in the wild, and help protect ecosystems threatened by climate change. This exhibit highlights the Arctic’s vital role as an indicator of global climate shifts—and why its future matters to us all.
