In the laboratory, the DNA can help identify marine biodiversity, specifically whales, seals, birds and fish. The research will contribute to a better understanding of Antarctic waters, a marine ecosystem that is rapidly being altered by climate change. Greenpeace is back in the Antarctic on the last stage of the Protect The Oceans Expedition. We have teamed up with a group of scientists to investigate and document the impacts the climate crisis is already having in this area.*This picture was taken in 2020 during the Antarctic leg of the Pole to Pole expedition under the Dutch permit number RWS-2019/40813Locations:AntarcticaDate:5 Feb, 2020Credit:© Abbie Trayler-Smith / GreenpeaceMaximum size:6047px X 4032pxKeywords:Bird colonies-Birds-Day-Inflatables (boats)-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-One person-Outdoors-Penguins-Protective clothing-Research-Scientists-WomenShoot:Protect the Oceans Expedition: Antarctic MY Arctic Sunrise Tour - Leg 1 (Photos)Greenpeace is back in the Antarctic on the last stage of the Protect the Oceans Expedition, a year long pole to pole voyage.
