Calling all budding polar explorers! Join us as we set sail south to the bottom of the world, to a place where solid sea ice covers the ocean, penguins hitch rides on drifting icebergs, and giant rivers of ice flow from the land into the sea. After 6 weeks in the Southern Ocean on board the Royal Research Ship Sir David Attenborough, Roseanne Smith (PhD researcher at the British Antarctic Survey) has returned to the UK and will share her story of the amazing sights, sounds and science of Antarctica. This story-based session will include some interactive activities and even some real Antarctic ice all the way from the frozen continent. Roseanne is a PhD researcher in the Ice Core Team at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge. She studies the chemistry of ice cores – long cylinders of ice cut from deep into the Antarctic ice sheet – to reveal how the Antarctic climate might have looked in the past, long before humans ever set foot there. She is specifically interested in understanding how much sea ice there might have been in the past around Antarctica, as that would help us understand how the sea ice might change in the future.
Perfect for ages 7-14.
