Create. Capture. Connect.

Polar Portals is an Extended Reality project that brings the magic and reality of Earth's most rapidly changing environments right to children's fingertips. It's like stepping into a whole new world filled with icy wonders! But it's not just about the ice; we're on a mission to bridge the gap between kids in busy cities and the incredible heroes and fascinating creatures who live in our frozen worlds.

Create

We use our postcards as blank canvas for art by commissioning original works from artists connected to icy places. The postcards present visual artworks on the themes of polar regions, exploration and science.

Capture

Each postcard carries a unique tale from an individual explorer that is transformed into an immersive and accessible expedition diary, providing a physical and digital connection to the most remote regions of our world.

Connect

This isn't just about art; it's about making dreams come true and showing young minds that they can be a part of the exciting world of polar research. Through art, education and exploration we’ve ignited curiosity and opened doors to the wonders of the poles for children from all backgrounds.
