What is SciencePoles?
Since 2005, SciencePoles has been a polar science resource, offering the general public a window into the world of polar science. The website covers research activities and the latest developments in Arctic and Antarctic research over a broad range of scientific disciplines.
As a continually expanding resource on all things related to polar science, the website is a key tool for the International Polar Foundation in its mission to bridge the science-society divide.
