In Thin Ice VR, viewers follow in the footsteps of adventurer and environmental scientist, Tim Jarvis, who recreates one of history’s greatest journeys – that of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. In 1914, Shackleton led the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition – an attempt to be the first to cross Antarctica coast-to-coast. The events that transpired form one of History’s greatest stories of leadership and survival. A catastrophic yet beautiful experience highlighting the effect of climate change on the Antarctic region.
