Today, Antarctica sits icy, empty and cold. But there was a time when it was covered in lush forests, plants ... and dinosaurs! How could such an icy and desolate landmass have been a warm habitat for some of Earth’s biggest creatures?
On Monday, March 31, learn about the unique challenges and discoveries of paleontology in Antarctica. We’ll be joined by Dr. Nathan Smith — known as the "Polar Explorer" — from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles' Dinosaur Institute and co-curator of the Antarctic Dinosaurs exhibition, along with Dr. Ashley Poust, paleontologist at the University of Nebraska State Museum.
Social hour includes light hors d’oeuvres (while supplies last), a cash bar and a chance to view Antarctic Dinosaurs exhibition.
- 5-6:20PM: Social hour and exhibit exploration
- 6:30PM: Presentation
- Please note, the museum will not be open for general admission on March 31 but will open at 5PM for visitors attending the event.
