Welcome to the Frozen-Ground Cartoons website!

Our outreach-related project aims at making permafrost science fun and accessible to children, their parents and teachers. With this project we wish to fill the gap between indigenous knowledge, complex scientific results and outreach to the general public.

Feel free to look at the other sections of this website, download public copies of the cartoons, test the board-game, follow the development of the augmented reality application, watch videos and send us your feedback.
