The exhibition aims to communicate scientific knowledge on polar regions, meaning the Arctic and the Antarctic, and on other regions where permafrost occurs, at the time of global climate change.
The environmental research from Poland allows us to discover traces of the past, when this area experienced the impact of glaciation and permafrost occurrence.
