They will discover the incredible diversity of animal and plant life at both poles: the polar bears, caribou, Arctic birds and Antarctic penguins, seals and whales. They can marvel at polar light shows (auroras), the brief flowering of the tundra and awesome icebergs, and find out why it is midnight for six months and why it is so important that we take care to conserve the unique environments of the poles.
