Antarctica was once a land of giants where colossal creatures roamed the forests and swamps. But, millions of years ago, something happened that caused this strange world to disappear. Join intrepid Antarctic scientists on a quest to understand the ice continent’s profound transformation – and what clues it might hold for our own future.

From the Permian to the Jurassic, discover the surreal world of bug-eyed giants and egg-laying mammals – where survival means enduring the sunless, six-month polar winter surrounded by meat-eaters with night vision. See this fantastical world brought to life on our gigantic Dome screen!
