Antarctica virtual reality adventure

See the spectacular southern lights

Take your Antarctica experience to the next level with our virtual reality adventure.

Back by popular demand, you can tour the icy continent from a helicopter cockpit, land on glaciers and discover a penguin colony. Marvel at the spectacular southern lights and learn about daily life in some of the harshest conditions on Earth.

With 360-degree camera control and stunning high-resolution vision, you’ll explore a day in the life of Antarctic scientists and see the work that goes into understanding climate change, managing ecosystems, researching sustainability and conserving wildlife.
