Many people dream of being explorers – children want to be astronauts, young adults want to travel to exotic locations where life (human and otherwise) is unlike what they have seen before, and adults want to take advantage of retirement to see the world. But what always fascinates me is that many people seem to think that there is nothing left to truly explore on Earth, and that the age of exploration ended with Christopher Columbus and Magellan. But exploration is still possible – and necessary – on Earth, because there are lots of places that have yet to be explored, and many places that we need to better understand. And nowadays, with advancements in communication technology and social media, we can not only see some places that are more difficult to reach – we can follow along and interact with people that are there!
How would you like to explore the top of the world with the Miami Science Museum? We are departing on an expedition into the Arctic circle!
