There are displays on contaminant pollution and ozone depletion. One shows how cold water currents flowing from the North influence global weather patterns.
Many exhibitions are interactive.
There's also a walk around a soggy piece of tundra and over imitation, but moving, ice pans, as well as an encounter with a real mini-blizzard. Polaria's boutique also peddles a variety of Northern-made ware, from original watercolours to Sami handicrafts and sealskin purses. Another museum, the Polar Museum, is devoted solely to polar explorers. This museum makes the most of the city's role as a staging point for polar trips. As well, the museum features displays on hunting, trapping, sealing and whaling.
