SUMMARY:New exhibition explores the intersection of art and Antarctic science
DESCRIPTION:From Friday 12 September 2025\, step into a world where Antarctic science and art meet at the Scott Polar Research Institute’s new art exhibition – Through Ice & Fire. This is a striking collaboration between contemporary artist Rowan Huntley and polar geologist Dr Joanne Johnson from the British Antarctic Survey. \nThis unique event is free to attend and will be open every Tuesday to Saturday\, 10.00am to 4.00pm until 27 June. The exhibition blends offers visitors a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the icy continent and how it is being affected by the climate crisis. \nA piece of artwork produced by Rowan Huntley\, featured in the exhibition | credit: Rowan Huntley \nFor more information head to the exhibition webpage. \nHow to find the exhibition

SUMMARY:Open Day for schools: Ice Explorers - Icebergs\, penguins and brrrilliant science!
DESCRIPTION:Teachers\, bring your students along to ‘Ice Explorers’ – an educational open day for schools at the headquarters of the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge. Our open day is part of the Cambridge Festival line up. \nStep into our icy world and find out how scientists\, engineers and innovators are uncovering the secrets of our frozen poles. From the bottom of the oceans to the edge of space\, our research helps guard the future of our planet. \nExplore. Discover. Experience.\nIce Explorers invites school students on an interactive journey into the polar regions – where the ice tells stories of Earth’s past and present\, and holds the clues to its future. Through hands-on experiments\, live demonstrations and fascinating exhibits\, you’ll see how researchers study ice\, wildlife and climate change in some of the planet’s most extreme places. \n\nMeet polar scientists and engineers who are studying Earth’s most extreme environments.\nStep inside a polar field tent and see what it’s really like to live and work in freezing conditions.\nTry on real polar clothing to learn what it takes to survive in the icy wilderness.\nHop aboard a snowmobile and snap a photo with our friendly penguins!\nHear stories from Antarctica – from battling blizzards to studying the ice\, oceans and wildlife that hold clues to our changing planet(Credit: Peter Fretwell)\n\nThe polar regions matter\nWhy are Antarctica and the Arctic vital for understanding climate change? What questions are scientists trying to answer\, and how does what’s happening there affect the rest of the world? \nOur research shows that the polar regions play a huge part in the Earth’s climate – by reflecting sunlight\, storing frozen water and driving ocean currents. Understanding how these cold places are changing means we can better protect our planet’s future. \nThis ice-cool experience is open to schools!\nBring your class\, uncover the science and take your first steps into the exciting world of polar research. \nTickets will be released in February 2026 and the event will be free to attend. \nSuitable for year 3 and above. \nMorning and afternoon sessions will be available. \nThis is an event for schools. If you are not a school and would like to visit British Antarctic Survey\, we are having a family friendly open day too. \nHow to find us\nVisit us in Cambridge.
