This Antarctica and Climate Change StoryMap Collection focuses on contemporary climate change in Antarctica, and how this is driving changes in the ocean currents around the ice sheet.

The Collection of four StoryMaps then explores how Antarctica may drive sea level rise in coming decades to centuries. It is set at an introductory level, aimed at 13/14 year olds and upwards.

Funding and Contributors
The Antarctica StoryMap Collections were funded by an educational bursary from Antarctic Science Ltd and were supported by the British Antarctic Survey, ESRI, and Geography Southwest! We also thank numerous scientific advisors and contributors, who have helped to ensure that these resources are accurate, up to date, and unique.
This information was really useful, so many thanks!
The activities include both questions drawing on the content, and innovative interactive tasks such as seeing how an iceberg floats, or what the land looks like beneath the ice.
