How do lifeforms like the Sandworms actually function? Discover the biology of 'Dune' on this expedition across planet Arrakis…
Imagine a world composed solely of a single, endless desert. What extreme forms of life might we find here? Would this be a world of microscopic organisms… or of unfathomable giants? Arrakis, also called ‘Dune’ is the titular planet at the center of the world-famous science fiction book and recent film of the same name. And although the planet is a desert of intense heat and extreme scarcity, it is also abundant with unexpected life.
So, join me in this tour of the ecosystems of Arrakis, which will dive deep into the extended material from the books and other sources. We’ll uncover how such fantastical forms of life might function, and find biological analogues in the most unexpected places on our own planet. |
