Experience 4.6 billion years in 3.5 hours 

What if you could walk through the entire history of Earth? 
The Deep Time Walk is a guided outdoor experience that translates the 4.6-billion year story of our planet into a 4.6 km walk. With 1 meter representing 1 million years, we travel from the formation of Earth to the present day. Along the way we explore key moments in the evolution of our planet and life itself: the formation of oceans, the emergence of life, mass extinctions, the rise of complex ecosystems - and the very recent arrival of humans. 

Deep Time Walk This walk invites participants from all disciplines to step into deep time and reflect on questions connecting geology, biology, philosophy, climate science, and humanity’s place on Earth. Rather than a lecture, it is a shared journey and travel adventure through deep time. 

Step into Earth’s deep past and return with a new perspective on the present.
