Antarctica 3D Featured in Science Magazine

Antarctica 3D and filmmaker Jon Bowermaster were recently featured in Science magazine. The publication profiled our recent film tour in Washington, D.C. Dubbed a “36-hour climate triple-header”, the event was hosted by the National Science Foundation (NSF), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and a group of Democratic senators, with the aim of bringing attention to the issue of climate change without taking sides.

Speaking to the NSF, Bowermaster asserted that the documentary is nonpartisan, and stressed the importance of acknowledging the reality of climate change.

“I am not a scientist, I’m a storyteller. So the only thing I’ll say today about the big C—climate change—is that it’s happening. The climate along the peninsula is changing rapidly. And it’s really easy to see its impacts if you come back year after year.”

Read the Science magazine article for more information about the three-day event, and stay tuned for more updates on Antarctica 3D.

“For a long time, everybody thought of solar panels as something only rich people could afford. But when you think about it, the fuel – sunlight – is free. So if you can make the equipment affordable and accessible, in theory, solar should be a great option for all kinds of Americans…”
