Join naturalist Henry Walter Bates on his extraordinary eleven-year journey through the Amazon rainforest. Discover how this young researcher risked his life for science in the 1850s.

The IMAX film “Amazon Adventure” tells the epic story of explorer Henry Bates and his expedition through the Amazon, where he made groundbreaking contributions to biology. He identified 8,000 new species, and most importantly, provided the first scientific proof of how new species are formed—a discovery Charles Darwin called the “beautiful proof” of his then-controversial theory of Natural Selection.

Travel through the lush Amazon region, experience the danger, perseverance, and success alongside Bates, and explore a fascinating world where mimicry allows animals to adopt the appearance of others for survival. Immerse yourself in a wild, breathtakingly beautiful environment and witness the remarkable behaviors of the animal kingdom.
