A wide range of Antarctic research expedition materials,
including models of successive generations of Antarctic research vessels and actual snowmobiles used in the expeditions.
The exhibition also includes rare Antarctic rocks that can no longer be taken from the continent,
the holes on the surface of which, carved out by the strong winds and sand, convey the severity of the nature there.
