It's a bucket-list dream for many - visiting Antarctica to get a glimpse of the frozen continent.

Now a new film using virtual reality technology and the latest in 3-D, 360-degree, high defnition video, drones and a unique soundscape will immerse people in the landscape from the comfort of the WA Maritime Museum.

The premiere of The Antarctica Experience on Friday night will allow the audience to land on a glacier in a helicopter, see the Southern Lights in high definition, take a look around the Davis research station and learn about survival in the harshest of environments.

Western Australian filmmaker Briege Whitehead of White Spark Pictures partnered with BAFTA award-winning director Phil Harper who is known for his work on David Attenborough’s Great Barrier Reef VR Dive to produce the virtual reality adventure.
