The data collected by ScanLAB will later be used to create a 3D Point Cloud (or architectural drawing) of the ice floe, made up of thousands of co-ordinated points. Known as a "Stamukha" due to its deep pressure ridges, this floe also spent time grounded off Siberia.Arctic sea ice has already disappeared by 75% in the last 30 years, and scientists together with Greenpeace are working with 3D scanning experts and engineers to capture the true shape of Arctic sea ice for the first time.Locations:Arctic-Fram StraitDate:14 Jul, 2012Credit:© Greenpeace / Alex YallopMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Day-Ice-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Offshore drilling-Oil (Industry)-Outdoors-Research-Sampling (activity)-Save the Arctic (campaign title)-Science-Scientists-Two peopleShoot:'Save the Arctic' Sea Ice Scientific ResearchGreenpeace is campaigning for a global sanctuary to be declared around the uninhabited area of the North Pole to save the Arctic from attempts by oil companies to exploit the region’s resources for short term profit.
