Den Blå Planet! (The Blue Planet)

A Whirlpool of Fun, Inside and Out!

🔎 As flight passengers descend upon Copenhagen Airport, an odd sight greets them from below: a whirlpool on dry ground. At least, that’s how Northern Europe's largest aquarium is designed to look from above, and its proximity to the airport allows for a large number of visitors to take notice of the fitting shape. Within the walls of the whirlpool are held a whopping 7,000,000 liters of water. It includes 53 exhibits and five main sections.

The Rainforest exhibit excites visitors with 3,000 piranha and an assortment of electric fish, such as the elephant fish and the electric eel. Crocodiles roam the rainforest while boa constrictors slither along the soil. Freshwater stingrays and large catfish swim through pools.

The African Great Lakes exhibit transports visitors to the waters of Africa, showcasing marine life from three of Africa’s lakes: Lake Victoria, Lake Malawi, and Lake Tanganyika. Cichlids, Nile perches, and village weaver birds can all be spotted here.

The Evolution and Adaptation exhibit focuses on a range of fish from primitive to modern and has some fun examples, like four-eyed fish.

The Cold Water exhibit holds fresh and saltwater species native to Denmark and showcases the North Atlantic aquarium with a 15 m (49 ft) seabird cliff. Non-native species include the giant Pacific octopus, sea anemones, and a pair of adorable sea otters.

The Warm Ocean exhibit is the largest exhibit, housing the biggest of the aquarium animals, such as sharks and stingrays. A shark tunnel allows visitors to walk under a glass tunnel and see sharks swimming overhead. A coral reef can also be enjoyed, with viewings of seahorses, venomous stonefish, and sea snakes. 🔍
