Building Aurora Giant Polar Bear

Photo | 4 September, 2013

Aurora's head, which is the size of a smart car, is counter weighted inside the structural steel chassis and will be operated by a puppeteer who will also be able to make the bear roar. Greenpeace is building Aurora to lead a procession on 15th September 2013 through the streets of London to draw attention to the 2013 Sea Ice Minimum announcement and Shell's ongoing attempts to drill for oil in the Arctic as the ice recedes.
