User guide
The Freeze Frame images have been created to support learning/teaching. In addition, the Scott Polar Research Institute has created five resource packages on themes relating to polar history and the environment.
As more people start to develop and share galleries of their favourite images, it should be possible to see how other people are using the photographs in their learning and teaching.
