\"Dinosaurs<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the coldest, windiest place on Earth. But Antarctica\u2019s wilderness was not always frozen. Journey to the south polar landscapes of Antarctica hundreds of millions of years ago, when \u201cDinosaurs of Antarctica 3D\u201d 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 \u2014 where survival means enduring the sunless, six-month polar winter surrounded by meat-eaters with night vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cDinosaurs of Antarctica 3D\u201d follows a new generation of intrepid Antarctic scientists on a quest to understand the ice continent\u2019s profound transformation \u2014 from a warm and biodiverse Mesozoic to the frozen desert we know today \u2014 and to predict the future as humans drive dramatic change. Welcome to the lost prehistoric world of Gondwana. Welcome to Antarctica.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncredible Predators\u201d 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\u2019s top predators in extraordinary footage, putting the audience right beside them as they hunt \u2014 on land, under the sea or in the air.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolcanoes: The Fires of Creation\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
