In January and February 1997 the MV Arctic Sunrise sailed to Antarctica to examine possible effects of Climate change on the area. Greenpeace discovered a large crack in the Larsen B ice shelf and noted significant changes in penguin populations, they also completed the first circumnavigation of the James Ross Island, previously a solid layer of ice.
