Sea Anemone in 'Polaria'

Housed in a very distinctive building that represents ice floes that have been pressed up on land by the rough seas of the Arctic, you will discover Polaria, just five minutes walk from the centre of Tromsø. Polaria has an Arctic aquarium, interesting knowledge-based exhibits, a panoramic cinema, and a gift and souvenir shop. In our panoramic cinema, you can look forward to the Ivo Caprino film "Svalbard - Arctic Wilderness"and the Ole C. Salomonsen production "Northern Lights in Arctic Norway".


After the film visitors are taken along the "Arctic Walkway" where you, through films and installations, can see and learn how the ice is melting in the Arctic, how it affects the nature and the animals living there, and how researchers work in these areas.
