Discover some of the most extreme animals on Earth with filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Ariel Waldman!
On an epic adventure to Antarctica, Ariel documented an amazing array of microscopic life under the ice, revealing a previously unseen world of charismatic creatures too tiny to be spotted with the naked eye. Ariel’s astonishing footage became the subject of her TED Talk in 2020, she’s since shared her Antarctic adventures at talks and events all over the world.
Previously an art school graduate, Ariel’s imaginative approach to science has also led to her working for NASA, writing a book about life in space, and becoming Global Director for Science Hack Day – a two-day event inspiring people to create weird, silly or serious things with science.
