Follow an international team of scientists from over twenty countries who embark on an epic year-long expedition to the Central Arctic.The Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) team froze the German Icebreaker R/V Polarstern into the sea ice for a year. For a year, the team drifts with an ice floe and strives to understand the Arctic climate system and its future.

The 360-degree planetarium dome show is the first planetarium feature film that captures the entire year of the central Arctic climate, transcending the Arctic’s Polar Night and Day, and the experiences of the MOSAiC team as they face one of the most extreme and unique regions on our planet.

Run time: 1 hour (30 minute film with a 30 minute related science talk + plenty of time to ask questions)

Age recommendation: 12+ (If you’re 12 to 99 years of age you’ll enjoy this show!)
