SUMMARY:Free 3-day public event\, Greenwich\, London: Ice Worlds Festival of Polar Science 28-30 October 2021
DESCRIPTION:Watch recording of live on board RRS Sir David Attenborough \n \nJoin us in London or online for a dazzling showcase of polar environmental science\, engineering and technology.  On the eve of the UN COP26 climate talks in Glasgow\, British Antarctic Survey is partnering with Royal Museums Greenwich to bring you a festival that is guaranteed to enthral and inspire.  Discover why Antarctica and the Arctic matter to you\, experience a live virtual tour of the RRS Sir David Attenborough\, enjoy a great day out for all the family. \nBook free tickets \n[UPDATE: We have reached our advance ticket capacity\, but don’t worry! You can still visit Greenwich for the Ice Worlds festival\, see the RRS Sir David Attenborough moored on the Thames and access the public big screen near the Cutty Sark without a ticket.  \nSome Ice Worlds activities are included with general admission tickets to the National Maritime Museum\, still currently available. \nA limited number of walk-up tickets for Ice Worlds will be released each day subject to availability. Please speak with a member of the museum visitor team when you arrive.] \n28 – 30 October   \n\nLive talks and virtual tours of the RRS Sir David Attenborough.\nIce Worlds – meet polar scientists and experts in the National Maritime Museum and learn what it’s like to work in the polar regions.\nExplore what it really means to do extreme polar science and engineering.\nDiscover how robots unravel the mystery of the oceans – catch a glimpse of the infamous Boaty McBoatface.\n\nNew polar research ship makes its London debut \nLove ships? The RRS Sir David Attenborough is making a special visit to London. COVID-19 precautions prevent us from opening the ship to the public – but a BIG MOMENT on Thursday 28 October is a special live virtual tour of this amazing state-of-the-art ship. Discover how its science missions will help us live with and adapt to climate change. A huge quayside video screen gives you a glimpse of life on board. If you can’t make it to London then enjoy the tour from a PC or smartphone anywhere in the world. \nNew polar ship RRS Sir David Attenborough during sea trials off the coast of Portrush\, Northern Ireland (2021).
