In development

Nordic Glaciers is a mesmerizing odyssey back in time through Europe's natural history. An immersive experience currently in the making for fulldome cinema, we blend natural history, captivating visuals and urgent scientific calls to action about climate change.

Nordic Glaciers highlight

By leveraging the powerful fulldome format and letting people travel back through time and space, we can let people experience how our world, our mountains and our glaciers have transformed in the last century.

The Story

What did Europe's glaciers look like a century ago? In our story, we travel back in time to find out - inviting today's students to tag along and see the impact of climate change for themselves.

End User Experience

Fulldome cinema offers a magical portal that helps us transport the audience through time and space. We will let people travel back in time using 3D and historical imagery to give a historical perspective on our ongoing crisis of climate change. We will also give them a beautiful immersive ride that they won't soon forget.

Impact

At the heart of Nordic Glaciers lies our mission to engage youth and classrooms, who will be the protagonists in the story of our planet's future. Today's students are tomorrow's decision-makers, scientists, and community leaders. We already have Letters of Intent and secured distribution in Sweden, Canada and beyond.

"Our goal is to illuminate the majestic wonders and lessons learned from our glaciers, inspire awe, and kindle a collective commitment to understand and protect these melting chronicles of time."
