Carrying an international crew from every habitable continent including Girl Guides, Chinese celebrities, filmmakers, activists and Cambridge University scientists, the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise embarks on a month-long expedition in the icy Arctic as part of the environment group?s new campaign to save the pristine region. The ship begins by launching from Svalbard, Norway, 78 degrees north of the equator. Greenpeace is campaigning for a global sanctuary to be declared around the uninhabited area of the North Pole. Arctic sea ice has already disappeared by 75% in the last 30 years, and scientists on board the Arctic Sunrise will be working with 3D scanning experts and engineers to capture the true shape of Arctic sea ice for the first time.Locations:Arctic-Arctic Ocean-Fram Strait-Liefdefjorden-SvalbardDate:1 Jul, 2012Credit:© GreenpeaceDuration:11m1sAudio format:NaturalProduction Type :CLIPREEL-SOUNDBITEKeywords:Aerial view-Climate (campaign title)-Climate change-Climate change impacts-Educational and research equipment-Glaciers-Greenpeace crew-Greenpeace inflatables-Ice-Icebergs-Icescapes-KWCI (GPI)-MY Arctic Sunrise-Polar bears-Remotely operated vehicles-Research-Samples-Sampling (activity)-Save the Arctic (campaign title)-Science-Scientists-Timelapse-Tools-WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts)Shoot:Arctic Sunrise 'Save the Arctic' TourGreenpeace MY Arctic Sunrise expedition to witness Arctic sea ice reaching the lowest level since records began in 1979. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, on September 16th 2012, the sea ice covered only 1.32 million square miles, or 24 percent, of the Arctic Ocean, the lowest amount ever recorded.The campaign to save the Arctic then continues in Russia and in the Barents Sea. Greenpeace takes action to stop attempts by oil companies to exploit the region’s resources for short term profit. Activists, including Greenpeace International Executive Director, Kumi Naidoo, take part in a series of actions held to prevent Gazprom from completing the work that will allow them to begin drilling in this fragile region. Gazprom looks set to begin full commercial drilling operations by early next year, becoming the first ever company to start commercial oil production in the offshore Arctic.Related Collections:Arctic Sunrise 'Save the Arctic' Tour (Photo + Video)IPCC Report Release (All Photographers, Photos & Videos)Sea Ice Minimum (Photo + Video)
