Step inside a 15-metre immersive dome and find yourself at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean.
Prof. Jenny Gales is a marine geoscientist at the University of Plymouth whose EU-funded research has taken her to some of the most remote and extraordinary places on Earth, mapping hidden underwater canyons, volcanoes and the geological processes that shape our ocean floor.
In Antarctica: Ocean Exploration Uncovered she brings that expedition to Devonport, putting you right in the heart of the deep sea through this stunning 360 degree dome experience.
