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.
