Antarctica VR Experience | Canberra

Explore a day in the life of Antarctic scientists in this immersive virtual reality adventure. Tour Antarctica from a helicopter cockpit, land on glaciers and discover a penguin colony, including their chicks. Learn about daily life in these harsh conditions and marvel at the spectacular southern lights.

With 360-degree camera control and stunning 4K, high-resolution vision, you’ll see firsthand the work that goes into understanding climate change, managing ecosystems, researching sustainability, and conserving wildlife.

This free wellbeing activity is for first responder families (check out who we serve here). Register yourself, and up to one other adult or teenager (your partner, family member, or someone from your inner circle). Encourage a first responder colleague to register too, or make connections on the day.

Note: This film is suitable for all audiences, however the Virtual Reality headset is recommended for users 13 years and older. Children under the age of 13 are still welcome to attend a session but parent discretion is advised for wearing Virtual Reality headsets. Not recommended for people with certain medical conditions; glasses can be worn under the headset, but the focus cannot be adjusted.
