GPB Event Highlights NOVA: Polar Extremes
Join GPB at the Fernbank Science Center in Atlanta on Saturday, March 21, from 3-5 PM for
a special event highlighting
NOVA: Polar Extremes.
Polar Extremes shadows scientists as they follow a trail of fossils found in all the wrong places, beech trees in Antarctica, redwoods, and hippo-like mammals in the Arctic. NOVA uncovers the bizarre history of the poles, from miles-thick ice sheets to warm polar forests teeming with life.
Guests will enjoy clips from the 2-hour film, excerpts from the accompanying digital series Antarctic Extremes, and a chance to test drive the NOVA Polar Lab web-based experience.
