The Antarctica Experience: A Virtual Reality Expedition

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, 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

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