Book VR film: The Antarctica Experience

Transport yourself to a world of ice and snow through the wonder of virtual reality, and explore a day in the life of Australian Antarctic scientists as they research Antarctica from Davis Research Station.

With 360-degree camera control and stunning 4K, high-resolution vision, The Antarctica Experience shows you first-hand the work that goes into understanding climate change, managing ecosystems, researching sustainability and conserving wildlife.

Along the way you’ll:

  • explore Antarctica from a helicopter cockpit, even landing on glaciers
  • discover the resident penguin colony and see the new chicks
  • explore Davis Station and logistics that go into surviving the harsh Antarctic conditions
  • view the spectacular Southern Lights in high definition.

This is Antarctica as you’ve never seen it before – it’s the next best thing to visiting the frozen continent.
