NOVA Polar Extremes: A Multimedia Adventure to the Poles of our Planet
Abstract: Join NOVA on a dramatic and surprising multimedia adventure from pole to pole and back in time with Polar Extremes, Antarctic Extremes, and the NOVA Polar Lab. Hosted by renowned paleontologist Kirk Johnson, Polar Extremes is a two-hour special that takes viewers on an epic adventure through the last 650 million years to uncover the extraordinary climate history of Earth's poles. As Johnson travels the planet, uncovering clues of the polar past, NOVA's Caitlin Saks & Arlo Pérez explore the challenges of polar research today in Antarctic Extremes, a 10-part digital series that discovers what it takes to live, work, and do science at the bottom of the world. Classrooms can also experience the science of Polar Extremes first hand, with the NOVA Polar Lab, a web-based experience that uses 360° videos, interviews with scientists, and mini-games to send players on an immersive quest to understand how the poles are key to understanding Earth's climate—past, present, and future. This multi-platform project brings the field of polar science to life for all kinds of learners through traditional storytelling and experiential, digital learning environments.
