Antarctica today can be a harsh land of ice and snow, but 200 million years ago it was a bountiful, forested habitat where dinosaurs thrived. In "Antarctic Dinosaurs," visitors can step back in time to discover the dinosaurs that ruled these now-fossilized forests. The exhibition immerses vistiors in the thrilling hunt for never-before-seen fossils and sheds new light on Earth’s ever-changing climate and geology.

Visitors can explore the plants and animals that once flourished in the thick forests of Jurassic Antarctica, then part of the supercontinent Gondwanaland, and learn how the land drifted and changed to become the polar continent we know today. They can also view fossils that reveal Antarctica’s past alongside large-scale replicas of dinosaur species unique to the continent, and marvel at the 25-foot-long Cryolophosaurus, the largest and most complete Early Jurassic theropod in the world, and a new-to-science juvenile sauropodomorph.

Finally, visitors can witness the persistent challenges and extreme conditions of expeditions to the “Lost Continent” to gain an understanding of the tough working conditions for the scientists who must rely on an arsenal of modern power tools to extract fossils from rock and bring these discoveries to light.
