Hey educators & explorers 👋
We’re Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants - and we connect your classroom (or research!) with the world
Since 2015, we’ve run 4,500+ free, live virtual events with scientists, conservationists, adventurers & more 🌍
It’s free. It’s live. It’s awesome.

We got a peek at what @underthepole.bsky.social is doing in #Antarctica
One big immediate threat to Antarctic wildlife is the overfishing of krill!
When a #KeystoneSpecies like krill is at risk, the impact ripples through the entire ecosystem & threatens species that reply on it as a food source

Sending a huge congratulations to Hari Budha Magar on completing the Seven Summits!
His journey was completed with a final summit of Mount Vinson in Antarctica, and he continues to remind us what’s possible as an amputee.
Plus, the EBTSOYP flag is getting some serious mileage!
