At the end of the tour, you will be able to ask the scientists questions.
This was reported by the National Antarctic Science Centre.
‘The polar explorers will talk about their research and possibly show the surrounding inhabitants. At the end of the meeting, scientists will be able to ask questions,’ the statement said.
You can join the event by pre-registering via Zoom.
