Welcome to The Polar Explorer Adventure!
In this Adventure, you will complete a series of activities, each of which will allow you to earn a Polar Explorer Adventure badge.
By working through the modules, you will plan your own adventure to the Polar Regions, dig into some scientific data, and help us learn about the penguins along the West Antarctic Peninsula, so we can find solutions to save them.
Before going out into the field, scientists must first learn about where they are going and what they need to pack to work there. This is especially true for the harsh and unforgiving Polar Regions.
So, before you go exploring, you must first learn about the two Polar Regions to figure out what we will need to pack your bags. Let’s get started!
