From BoardGameGeek
Become the leaders of scientific teams venturing into uncharted boreal territories to observe and photograph the Arctic's most adorable inhabitants. Play cards from your hand to one of 3 locations on your player board to snap a photo and send your scientists sliding to the left and to the right - but only if their colors match the ones printed on your card! Line up vehicle symbols, race to claim objectives, and arrange animals in pre-determined end-game scoring patterns to earn the most points and gain everlasting fame at the Society for Polar Inquiry. Who knows? Maybe you'll even get your own tiny snow-covered island named after you. -description from the publisher
