Greenpeace activists and musicians pull the sledge with ice instruments to the ice music stage at an ice edge in Svalbard.<\/p><\/div>\n

With temperatures below -12 degrees celsius, the rhythms of chimes, horns, ice percussion and a cello blended together to send a message from the Arctic for the need to protect at least 30% of our global oceans by 2030, part of the Greenpeace\u2019 most ambitious expedition ever: an almost year long Pole to Pole voyage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In its first leg, Greenpeace has partnered with a group of musicians to record an ice concert in the far north of the Arctic. <\/span>They played a piece called \u2018Ocean Memories\u2019 on instruments carved from ice collected in Arctic waters to shine a light on the enormous threat posed by climate change, overfishing and plastic pollution to the Arctic ocean [2]. This year, the Arctic is suffering from a record breaking ice loss and in April the average temperature was 8 degrees above normal. <\/span><\/p>\n
