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 the Antarctica at Auckland Museum.
With 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 logistics that go into surviving the harsh Antarctic conditions.
• View the spectacular Southern Lights in high definition.
Sessions are at 10:30am, 11:30am, 12:15pm, 1pm each day and also at 2pm and 3pm on weekends and school holidays.
