Preparation for Ice Concert in the Arctic

Artist Bill Covitz makes an ice music instrument onboard MYAS for upcoming performance at an ice edge in Svalbard.

Greenpeace has partnered with a group of musicians to record an ice concert in the far north of the Arctic. They play a piece called ‘Ocean Memories’ on instruments carved from ice collected in Arctic waters. The rhythms of chimes, horns, ice percussion and a cello blend together to send a message for the need to protect at least 30% of our global oceans by 2030.

Protect the Oceans Expedition - MY Arctic Sunrise & MY Esperanza - Arctic Leg

The Arctic Sunrise and Esperanza are in Svalbard on the first leg of one of Greenpeace's biggest ever expeditions: an almost year-long pole to pole voyage from the Arctic to the Antarctic, to highlight the many threats facing the oceans and to campaign for a Global Ocean Treaty covering all seas outside of national waters.
The 'Protect the Oceans' expedition will see scientists and campaigners team up to research the threats of climate change, overfishing, plastic pollution, deep sea mining and oil drilling.
