Summary:What is the International Polar Year? TERRA INCOGNITA takes us behind the scenes of this event which, every 50 years, reunites scientists from around the world on ambitious research programs related to the North and the South Poles. The International Polar Year provides these scientists and researchers with an opportunity to further their knowledge of the Polar regions as well as to research contemporary issues afflicting the poles. This year their research is focused on environmental and climate change and the protection of bio-diversity. The study of the ice, astronomy and biology are all interlinked. Through science, TERRA INCOGNITA offers perspectives on our future.
