Abstract
This is Antarctica as you’ve never seen it before — it’s the next best thing to visiting the frozen continent.
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 narration by David Wenham (Lord of the Rings, Elvis, Moulin Rouge), 360-degree camera control and stunning 4K high-resolution vision, you’ll see 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 the logistics that go into surviving the harsh Antarctic conditions
View the spectacular Southern Lights in high definition.
