IGLO is a project of the Association of Science-Technology Centers, an international organization of science centers and museums dedicated to furthering the public understanding of science. IGLO is designed to raise worldwide public awareness about global warming and the particular ways that the Polar Regions profoundly influence the Earth's climate, environments, ecosystems, and human society. IGLO's activities will present the best of current research to an international audience and explain how global warming affects their daily lives.
