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-Joinville IslandDate:20 Jan, 2018Credit:© Christian Åslund / GreenpeaceMaximum size:8256px X 5504pxKeywords:Day-Greenpeace campaigners-Ice-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Protect the Antarctic (campaign title)-Research-Samples-Sampling (activity)-Snow-Two people-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 OFAntarctic Plastics Sampling 2018 (Photos, Video & Report)ANTARCTIC Ship Tour for Press and Media
