Step into the frozen frontier of the Late Cretaceous and discover a world where dinosaurs thrived above the Arctic Circle. Ice Dinosaurs: The Lost World of the Alaskan Arctic brings groundbreaking paleontology to life through immersive scenery, hands-on interactives, real fossils and museum-grade casts.
Guests will explore how Arctic-dwelling dinosaurs survived extreme polar environments, challenging long-held ideas about dinosaur behavior, migration and physiology. Based on research from paleontologists Dr. Gregory M. Erickson and Dr. Patrick Druckenmiller, this traveling exhibit reveals evidence that warm-blooded, non-migratory dinosaurs lived year-round in the ancient Arctic.
