Brief description
“The "Frozen North" exhibit at the London Wetland Centre, operated by the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), is a captivating display that immerses visitors in the icy realms of the Arctic. Located in Barnes, southwest London, this exhibit is part of a larger 44-hectare site dedicated to wetland conservation and education. Spanning approximately 3,500 square meters, the Frozen North showcases three distinct Arctic habitats: Siberia, Spitzbergen, and Iceland. Each area is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique ecosystems and wildlife of these regions, offering visitors an authentic Arctic experience.”
