Join the National Maritime Museum's Head of Interpretation & Design Alex Gaffikin on a personal guided tour of the stunning outdoor exhibition - Elysium Arctic.

In 2015 a team of explorers, photographers and scientists sailed through the High Arctic of Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland to document their unique environments. Together they created Elysium Arctic, a series of artworks capturing the icons of the polar north – majestic icebergs and glaciers, playful wildlife and stunning views of land and sea. Elysium Arctic also records the devastating impact of climate change in the earth's northernmost regions.

Braving sub-zero temperatures, sea ice and some very curious polar bears, the Elysium team has produced a breathtaking visual journey through the Arctic.

Join Alex on a personal guided tour of this stunning photographic installation in front of the museum's Wharf 7 building on the Darling Harbour foreshore.
