'Save the Arctic' Motley Crew Tour
Carrying an international crew from every habitable continent including Girl Guides, Chinese celebrities, filmmakers, activists and Cambridge University scientists, the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise embarks on a month-long expedition in the icy Arctic as part of the environment group’s new campaign to save the pristine region. The ship begins by launching from Svalbard, Norway, 78 degrees north of the equator. Greenpeace is campaigning for a global sanctuary to be declared around the uninhabited area of the North Pole. Arctic sea ice has already disappeared by 75% in the last 30 years, and scientists on board the Arctic Sunrise will be working with 3D scanning experts and engineers to capture the true shape of Arctic sea ice for the first time.
