In this Museum educator-led experience, students journey into Antarctica to uncover stories of exploration, science and international cooperation.

Surrounded by powerful objects and immersive environments, they’ll uncover what it takes to live and work on the coldest, driest and windiest continent on Earth – and why Antarctica matters to us all.

Uncover the science and stories of Antarctica through exploration, investigation and hands-on challenges.

Students discover historical and contemporary perspectives on exploration, scientific research and environmental change, and reflect on the human experience of Antarctica through objects, stories and media.

Includes activities that model scientific thinking, such as classification and ecosystem dynamics, as well as an examination of Australia’s role in international agreements to protect Antarctica.
