Sea ice and Cape Petrels in the Antarctic
Cape Petrels flying over dense sea ice and icebergs blocking the Antarctic Sound at the entrance to the Weddell Sea, where the largest protected area on Earth could become reality in 2018. Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise in the Antarctic to support the proposal of an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary, which would be a safe haven for penguins, whales and seals, and put the waters off-limits to the industrial fishing vessels sucking up the tiny shrimp-like krill, on which Antarctic life relies.
