Grenlandia: Kalaallit Nunaat w pigułce

Czas odwiedzić największą wyspę na naszej planecie, zachwycić się jej krajobrazem, zadziwić klimatem, poznać mieszkańców, zagłębić w historię i kuturę. Czy Grenlandia zawsze była pokryta lodem, co się stało z kulturą Dorset i dlaczego zniknęli z największej wyspy Wikingowie?

NIedźwiedź polarny

Niedźwiedzie polarne, żyjąc w mroźnym klimacie Arktyki, wykształciły wiele przydatnych przystosowań ułatwiających im przetrwanie - wybrane z nich omówimy podczas zajęć. Dowiecie się również, w jaki sposób niedźwiedzie polarne reagują na ludzi (i jak ludzie reagują na niedźwiedzie)

Animal adaptations to Arctic life (part 1)

Have you always wondered how animals can live and even thrive in the extreme climates of the Arctic? If they freeze and feel miserable during winter, or if they actually feel as comfortable as we do in our own living-room? In this webinar, you will get the answers, and learn about the amazing and sometimes odd ways Arctic animals have adapted to living a life at the extreme.

Animal invasion (part 1): Life below water, is it threatened by invasive fish?

What happens when a new fish species arrives in a river and why does this occur? In this lesson, you will learn how invasive fish species can impact their environments, other species, and the economy. You will also get an introduction to animal invasions in general, and learn why with climate change, we expect the number of invasive species to grow.

Growing up under the polar sky

Kids need to be outside and play. In the high North, winter temperatures often drop below -20°C and snow depths reach 1-2 metres. Still, even very small kids go out for snow-cave sleeping or long ski trips. In this webinar, you will get insights into this part of the “nord-norske” culture, and learn a bit about survival tactics: how to stay safe and how to be comfortable in extreme cold.

Photo-shooting wild animals

Professional and amateur photographers capture amazing footage of wild animals. Sometimes they are plain lucky, being at the right place at the right time, but for the most part they plan and work hard for days and even years to get the picture they want. In this webinar, you will learn that patience is the key. We introduce you to the art of adapting photo techniques to animal biology.

Animal invasion (part 2): When wild geese eat from our food

Some animals appear to be climate winners. The graylag geese, for example. It has gone from being almost threatened by extinction in the 1970s to currently being “everywhere”. In some areas, they are now so numerous that it is difficult to produce grass for cows and sheep. In this webinar, you will learn how geese largely outsmart the people trying to scare them away!
