Thanks to 3D objects or photos, you can be in front of a polar bear and an Arctic fox or navigate in interactive maps representing the permafrost zones in the Arctic. The cartoons will teach you what permafrost is, the impact of climate change and how scientists study the water and carbon cycles, essential for understanding the phenomena of global change.
