Polaria in Tromsø, Norway, is an arctic-themed experience center and aquarium that provides visitors with a unique insight into the polar environment. Opened in 1998, the facility features a distinctive architectural design resembling ice floes that have been pushed ashore by the Arctic Sea. Inside, visitors can explore various exhibitions about Arctic wildlife, climate, and ecosystems. One of the main attractions is the panoramic cinema that showcases stunning footage of the northern lights and Arctic landscapes. Additionally, Polaria is home to a range of marine life, including bearded seals, which can be observed up close in the aquarium's large tanks.
