Polar Extremes, a two-hour documentary film, will be televised on PBS TV at 8 pm ET, Wed. Feb 5. Hosted by paleontologist Kirk Johnson, viewers will travel from pole to pole and back in time to examine earth’s changing climates. Polar Extremes will also be available to view on NOVA’s Facebook page.

This project was funded through the NSF Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program in the Directorate for Education & Human Resources (EHR/OAD), Research on Learning in Formal... and Informal Settings (DRL). Logistical support was provided by the Office of Polar Programs and USAP.

There are two additional digital products associated with Polar Extremes:

The Polar Lab (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/labs/lab/polar/) is a free interactive game that kids can use to explore the science of the polar ice caps.

Antarctic Extremes (https://www.pbs.org/show/antarctic-extremes/) is a 10-part YouTube series, about what it takes to make science happen in Antarctica.
