A new interactive 360 experience offers a glimpse into the lives of researchers working in Antarctica. In 1955, Sir Edmund Hillary , a New Zealand mountaineer and explorer, led a group of researchers called the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition team into Earth’s coldest continent, where the Austral summer temperatures are consistently below 0° C (32 °F), and that’s on a good day.

Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
