Island of Ideas | Ice and Fire: The Mystery of Heard Island

Ice and Fire: The Mystery of Heard Island
Journey to one of the most remote places on Earth. Heard Island is a landscape of fire, ice and unique ecosystems – a critical climate frontier of extraordinary beauty and extremes. In this visually rich presentation, four scientists share firsthand experiences of the island, from shrinking glaciers on an active volcano to diverse wildlife in rapidly changing and challenging environments. Blending science and powerful imagery, the conversation offers a rare window into this sub-Antarctic World Heritage gem and explores what places like Heard Island can teach us about how we understand and protect our planet. Free event. Registration required.
