Glacial Landforms

Uncover the vital role of glaciers! This short course explores their importance and impact on the food chain.

Why Choose This Course?

During this short course, the children will be researching the importance of glaciers and the role that they play in the food chain. The children will investigate and start to understand the food chain of the Arctic Circle and the role that ice play in preserving this. The children will then conduct research on a glacier closest to them. With over 400,000 glaciers on the planet, you are never too far away from the nearest one.

Our objective is to create an understanding and a bridge between children and the preservation of the world’s glaciers. The goal is to further understand how important they are and the role that they play in preserving human, organic and insect life on the entire planet.
