The most amazing views

What are we wearing to help us cope with the extreme conditions of Antarctica?

This is the daily ration of food. What strikes you about it?

What signs alerted us to this crevasse (whose bottom we couldn’t see!)

What is your clothing used for? How is it different from a normal item of clothes? What would happen if you wore it in Acton?

How can these animals handle the extreme conditions of Antarctica?

Could you spend five weeks living in this small space with another person? What would be good about the experience, what would annoy you?
