Oceanogràfic in Valencia hosts Polar Days on 4 November 2026, bringing explorer Jesús Calleja to the aquarium for a public programme about the Arctic and Antarctic. The event takes place in Spain as part of the Oceanogràfic Foundation's Science Week programme.
Polar Days brings Jesús Calleja to Valencia
The programme begins at 6.30pm on 4 November 2026 in the Mar Rojo Auditorium at Oceanogràfic. The Foundation lists doors opening at 6.15pm and describes the session as a live meeting with Calleja about his experiences and expeditions in polar regions.
The discussion is designed to introduce the Arctic and Antarctic through first-hand accounts of exploration. It also addresses the social and environmental challenges facing polar regions. The event forms part of Polar Days, an initiative intended to connect the public with polar research and conservation.
The official Polar Days programme names both the date and the Mar Rojo Auditorium. It also identifies the Oceanogràfic Foundation as the organiser and states that admission is free.
Oceanogràfic links polar science with its marine setting
The aquarium opened to the public in 2003 within Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences. Its own venue information describes it as a marine centre in Europe and identifies the Mar Rojo Auditorium as a hall with a large aquarium representing the Red Sea.
That setting gives the 4 November programme a direct connection with the venue. Visitors will hear about the polar regions inside a complex whose exhibits represent marine environments, while the named auditorium places the session within the aquarium rather than at a separate city venue.
The site stands in the City of Arts and Sciences at Eduardo Primo Yúfera 1B, 46013 Valencia. The aquarium's venue information from 2003 confirms its setting and the auditorium's role within the complex.
