This year an Antarctica CD-ROM complements the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. It's an interactive journey that allows you to explore the secrets of the frozen wilderness.

Discover why you'd need to eat the equivalent of 24 burgers a day to get enough energy to survive, what makes Antarctica the land of the giants, and how Antarctica holds the key to understanding our past... and predicting our future.

Developed with scientists and schoolteachers, this scientifically rigorous CD-ROM is entertaining and engaging throughout.

The CD-ROM can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in Antarctica, as well as offering an exciting and useful teaching resource. It covers the same themes as the lectures - Ice people, Ice life, Ice world, plus an additional opportunity to hear from people who work for the British Antarctic Survey in Meet the team.

It has been specifically designed to appeal to young people aged 14 and above.
