This interactive display entitled 'High Arctic' which is at Greenwich's National Maritime Museum marks the first ever wing with an interactive exploration of the Arctic landscape. 'High Arctic' requires the visitors to walk through glaciers and snowstorms while hearing the history behind each event and figure. Some of the displays require you to shine a flashlight to reveal certain things or require you to walk a certain way to show a path.
