Team Aurora has returned from the North Pole and is warming up in Svalbard. It's the perfect time to look back on their journey and celebrate what our movement has accomplished: bringing together nearly three million people who want to save the Arctic, taking their names to the North Pole and demanding a global sanctuary in the area around it.

So with out farther ado, here are some beautiful images from and about the journey:

And to close, here are the beautiful words spoken during the ceremony at the North Pole right before Team Aurora lowered the Flag for the Future - and capsule containing nearly 3 million signatures - to the seafloor.
