The Government of Canada has announced the funding of $600,000 to develop a new IMAX® film project, Artic Odyssey – Journey to the Top of the World, which will be about the impact of climate change on the Arctic. "Thousands of scientists from around the world are participating in the most extensive international study ever undertaken of any region on earth,” commented director/producer, David Lickley. “We'll highlight the results from their scientific studies. Their work will focus the world's attention on climactic events, and will underline the implications these changes will have on the rest of the planet."
