The warming Arctic is one of our key global indicators of climate breakdown. So we\u2019re heading there to document and bear witness to the yearly sea ice minimum, have you heard about it before? It\u2019s the day when Arctic sea ice reaches its smallest extent, occurring at the end of the northern summer melt season, generally during September. And unfortunately, this year may be one of the lowest ones ever recorded.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

We want to go there and show to the world that the climate breakdown we are living through brings serious impacts to the oceans and its wildlife.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n

As the ice keeps melting, this area opens up to shipping routes and other industrial activities, bringing the same threats that our oceans already face every single day. Worse still, a new study<\/a> published in August in the journal Nature Climate Change, supports predictions that the Arctic could be totally free of sea ice during summer by 2035.<\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s why we need you. Healthy oceans help to support people, fight climate breakdown and save wildlife, so it\u2019s critical that we protect the oceans with a robust Global Ocean Treaty that allows at least 30% of the oceans to become fully protected ocean sanctuaries by 2030. Add your name to the petition<\/a>.\u00a0

11 SEPTEMBER 2012, NORTH OF ARCTIC CIRCLE -The Greenpeace ship MY Arctic Sunrise is on an expedition to the Arctic to document the lowest sea ice level on record. Two polar bears walk on ice flow in the foreground.\nScientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) release preliminary figures suggesting that Arctic sea ice has reached the lowest recorded extent since records began in 1979. The data indicates that on September 16th Arctic ice extent covered 3.41 m km2 – a drop of at least 45% since records began.<\/figcaption>

You can join us in this epic voyage to the Arctic by following us on Instagram<\/a> and signing the petition.<\/p>\n\n

We\u2019ve journeyed from Pole to Pole, on an epic voyage to reveal the wonders that lie beneath the surface of our oceans and confront the threats they face. And we will keep going to the remotest wildernesses on Earth to demand protection until governments hear us and take action.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t

The seas provide half of our oxygen, food for a billion people, and a home for some of the most spectacular wildlife on Earth.
