We took part a few years ago and it was excellent.
Digital Explorer is returning to the Arctic to take part in another research expedition. Students will have the opportunity to speak to Digital Explorer’s Jamie Buchanan-Dunlop at the NERC base on Svalbard about life and science in the frozen north and discover the secrets of this remote and extreme environment. Classes can also talk with Polar scientists Dr Helen Findlay, Dr Ceri Lewis and Dr Markus Frey in the UK about their experience of the Arctic and their research.
