It will be the first Antarctic Museum in the world. According to local media, Chile plans to build the museum in the southern city of Punta Arenas facing the Strait of Magellan.

Jose Retamales, director of the Chilean National Antarctic Institute, wants people to know more about the Antarctic and how it affects the world.

The construction will take about 3 years and that is how long the public will have to wait.  The total costs are estimated to be about US$20 million.
