National Museum of Australia
Lawson Crescent, Acton, ACT 2600, Australia
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!
The Antarctica Experience is suitable for all audiences; however, the virtual reality headset is recommended for users 8 years and older. Please read the health and safety notice before you book. For groups of 10 or more please email bookings@nma.gov.au
The Antarctica Experience is a White Spark Pictures production and would not have been possible without the incredible support of key partners: Australian Antarctic Division, Screen Australia, Screenwest, Lotterywest, DNEG and the Western Australian Museum. White Spark Pictures travelled to Antarctica with the support of the Australian Antarctic Program.
