SUMMARY:COP26 Polar Zero Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:If you are at COP26 Green Zone do pop into this new immersive exhibition at Glasgow Science Centre\, Polar Zero injects an artistic and cultural dimension to the climate negotiations at the Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) in November this year. \n \n \nPolar Zero is a collaboration between British Antarctic Survey (BAS)\, global engineering and consulting firm Arup and the Royal College of Art (RCA)\, is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). \nThe exhibition features an original glass sculpture encasing Antarctic air from the year 1765 – the date that scientists say predates the Industrial Revolution – and an Antarctic ice core containing trapped air bubbles that reveal a unique record of our past climate. Locked deep in Antarctic ice is a unique archive of the Earth’s history reaching back 800\,000 years. Tiny bubbles of air that were trapped as snow fell reveal the astonishing rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide since the start of the Industrial Revolution. \nAs you move around this exhibition you will become an integral part of the story. Polar Zero invites you to take a moment to reflect on what our past means for the present and future climate. \nThere are three elements to the Polar Zero exhibition: \n\n1765 ‘Air’\nIce Core\nIce Stories\n\n\n1765 ‘AIR’\nA cylindrical glass sculpture encases an ampule of genuine Antarctic air from the year 1765. Gases\, including carbon dioxide and methane from the pre-Industrial Revolution era\, capture a pivotal moment in Earth’s history. \nA close-up of the ampule of genuine Antarctic air from the year 1765 is encased in a cylindrical glass sculpture; a fusion of art\, science and engineering.

As it melts and drips away it marks – in an artistic sense – the fragility of the polar ice. \nTrapped air bubbles in a segment of Antarctic ice core.
