'Mountains and Rooftops' Arctic Sanctuary Action on Kebnekaise Mountain

Photo | 10 September, 2014

Greenpeace Nordic activists climb Mount Kebnekaise in Sweden and unfurl a banner reading 'Save the Arctic'. Kebnekaise is Sweden's highest mountain and is located in the Swedish Arctic. The southern peak is currently the highest peak, but was recently measured at a record low of 2,097 metres above sea level, just 70 cm higher than the northern peak. The southern peak has become lower in recent years - the glacier that sits atop the mountain is melting due to climate change.
