It’s the coldest, windiest place on Earth. But Antarctica’s wilderness was not always frozen. Journey to the south polar landscapes of Antarctica hundreds of millions of years ago, when “Dinosaurs of Antarctica 3D” opens at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences on March 25. Roam the primitive forests and thick swamps with bizarre dinosaurs and colossal amphibians. Enter a surreal world of bug-eyed giants and egg-laying mammals — where survival means enduring the sunless, six-month polar winter surrounded by meat-eaters with night vision.
“Dinosaurs of Antarctica 3D” follows a new generation of intrepid Antarctic scientists on a quest to understand the ice continent’s profound transformation — from a warm and biodiverse Mesozoic to the frozen desert we know today — and to predict the future as humans drive dramatic change. Welcome to the lost prehistoric world of Gondwana. Welcome to Antarctica.
Additional movies showing at the Museum’s WRAL 3D Theater:
“Incredible Predators” deconstructs the world of major predators as never before, taking an intimate look at the remarkable strategies they use to succeed. Advanced filming techniques expose the planet’s top predators in extraordinary footage, putting the audience right beside them as they hunt — on land, under the sea or in the air.
“Volcanoes: The Fires of Creation” is a tale of science, culture and thrilling adventure. Earth is a planet born of fire. For billions of years, volcanoes have helped forge the world we know. From the continents to the air we breathe and even life itself, all have been shaped by volcanic energy. These processes have created extraordinary ecosystems and wildlife habitats.
