Questacon is holding a "Polar Day" this coming public holiday Monday, 11 June, and Dan is coming along!
Dan will be doing two 30 minute presentations in the Japan Theatre, at 10am and 1pm. He'll be showing lots of slides from his Antarctic trips while talking both about his scientific work and about living in Antarctica.
We will also have talks by Dr Andrew Dowdy, another researcher who has worked in Antarctica. Andrew will be speaking at 11am and 2pm. Both Dan and Andrew will be available after their talks to answer your questions.
Additionally, we will have some hands-on science activities for children in Theatre 2 from 9am to 4pm, and an Antarctic pyramid tent and survival gear in the foyer. There will also be a presentation of Shackleton's voyage in Theatre 3 at 11.30am and 12.30pm.
Questacon's Polar Day is free after admission to Questacon.
