For teachers
Want to take your class on a journey to Antarctica?
Explore the frozen continent with curriculum-linked resources, and take your class on the ultimate field trip – all without leaving your classroom!
We departed for the frozen continent at the start of October 2025.
Even though the journey is over, these curriculum-linked teaching resources are a great way to bring Antarctica into your classroom.
