This dynamic and immersive VR experience will make you feel as if you have visited Antarctica without getting cold! You will be transported to the very heart of Antarctic exploration, allowing you to step inside Capt. Scott’s Discovery Hut on Ross Island, Antarctica, and interact with the artefacts left by the explorers that inhabited it, such as Capt. Scott, Ernest Shackleton, and young New Zealander Clarence Hare.
This VR experience shares the stories behind this iconic place in polar history and offers exciting interactions, including a ride in the hydrogen balloon, feeding huskies, getting up close to the Discovery ship, and much more.
The VR experience takes up to 30 minutes. It is suitable for everyone from 11 years old and over.
