An On-Line Exploration Portal by the University of Delaware

Join us in exploring the planet's extremes

This is your interactive gateway to selected University of Delaware research in some of the most extreme environments on the planet.

Dive in to "Extreme 2008: A Deep-Sea Adventure" and help uncover the mysteries of super-hot hydrothermal vents and the bizarre creatures that inhabit these deep-sea oases.

In "Antarctic Research," find out what it's like to live and work in literally the coolest place on Earth, as UD scientists help build the world's largest neutrino telescope deep in the polar icecap.
