Antarctica
The Heikoff Giant Dome Theater will temporarily close from September 7 through the end of October 2023 as we upgrade to new, state-of-the-art seats and enhance our accommodations for an even more extraordinary experience at the Fleet Science Center.
It is a land of mystery, yet what happens here affects everyone. With never-before-seen footage, Antarctica brings us to the farthest reaches of this wild and majestic continent. It is the coldest, driest and windiest place on Earth, with the roughest oceans and yet, wonderful creatures thrive here in astounding abundance.
Dive beneath sea ice, more than six feet thick, to experience the alien world of its seafloor—thousands of purple starfish scuttling to escape being entrapped by growing ice and elaborate jellyfish dancing a deadly dance. Swim alongside playful seals, soar above mountain peaks and vast penguin colonies, and witness the largest congregation of fin and humpback whales ever filmed.
