PFCs are widely used in industrial processes and products. The outdoor industry applies them for waterproof gear like jackets and shoes. Greenpeace has already performed this kind of sampling in other remote and seemingly pristine places in China, Russia, Turkey, Scandinavia, the Alps, and Patagonia.Locations:Antarctic-Antarctic Sound-Joinville IslandDate:20 Jan, 2018Credit:© Christian Åslund / GreenpeaceMaximum size:7702px X 5135pxKeywords:Day-Greenpeace campaigners-Greenpeace inflatables-Greenpeace ships-KWCI (GPI)-MY Arctic Sunrise-Oceans (topography)-One person-Outdoors-Protect the Antarctic (campaign title)-WomenShoot:Antarctic Ship Tour - Leg One - Photos by Christian ÅslundGreenpeace is on a three-month expedition to the Antarctic to carry out scientific research, including seafloor submarine dives and sampling for plastic pollution, to highlight the urgent need for the creation of a 1.8 million square kilometre Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary to safeguard species like whales and penguins.Related Collections:Antarctic Ship Tour BEST OF
