Dear Teachers,
We hope that you will return virtually to the polar regions in the new school year. We cordially invite you to participate in two lessons in September:

27.09 at 8 UTC: Why is permaforst dangerous for Earth's climate
We have prepared worksheets for students, which will be available for enrolled.
We encourage you also to watch polar 360-degree videos. We have prepared 15 videos in English. We recommend watching them in VR goggles (even cardboard goggles with a smartphone will suffice).
