"Reflections from the Glacial Continent, Antarctica," consisting of photos of the expeditions to Antarctica and scientific studies by the president of Turkish Marine Research Foundation, Professor Bayram Öztürk and Assistant Professor Arda Tonay from 2014 to 2016, has opened its doors to visitors in Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Marine Biology Museum, located in Kaleiçi Yacht Marine. The head of the department of Tourism and Museums of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, İlyas Çopur, emphasized the fact that the photographs in the exhibition were taken with huge difficulties.

I do believe that people in Antalya will be greatly interested in this exhibition in the museum," he said.Professor Öztürk also stated that Marine Biology Museum is a very exclusive museum. "This exhibition is the first Antarctica exhibition in Turkey.
