International Antarctic Centre

Christchurch is an important gateway to understanding the Antarctic. The International Antarctic Centre is located near Christchurch International Airport. It was opened on September 28, 1990 and is operated by the Christchurch International Airport Group. Here, you can learn about the history, geology and other knowledge of the Antarctic Circle through sound, light and electricity. 1. The architecture of the International Antarctic Center is inspired by the special landforms of Antarctica such as icebergs and glaciers. The interior of the museum is also designed according to the Antarctic climate and ice and snow. Walking into the International Antarctic Center, the first thing you see is the outdoor conditions of the Antarctic base and the field photos and information sent back by Scottrade Base that day. 2. The Antarctic storm cabin, which has real snow and low temperature manufacturing fans, allows you to experience the cold of minus ten degrees Celsius in Antarctica, and simulate the strong wind when the snowstorm comes. Before entering, you will need to change into warm clothes and shoes. 3. Watch the feeding show in the penguin introduction area and then go down to the penguin introduction area and the feeding show. Here you will see the world's miniature Omalu blue penguins, very cute. If you are very interested in these blue penguins, you can take a tour of encountering penguins, and walk into the background to understand how the facilities in the penguin isolation area work, the living and eating habits of the penguins, and get close to them.
