"Flag for the Future" Lowered to North Pole Seabed
Underwater picture showing a time capsule being lowered to the seabed at the North Pole. A “flag for the future” is attached to the glass and titanium time capsule containing the signatures of nearly three million people who wish to protect the Arctic, including actors, musicians, artists and business leaders. Greenpeace is calling for the region, currently under threat from climate change, oil companies, industrial fishing and shipping to be declared a global sanctuary and free from exploitation.

North Pole Expedition
A Greenpeace team including four young ambassadors, Kiera Kolsen from Canada, Renny Bijoux from the Seychelles, Josefina Skerk from Sweden and Ezra Miller from USA (Team Aurora), trek to the North Pole. They are carrying with them a time capsule containing 2.7 million names of supporters who wish to protect the Arctic. They lower the capsule and a ‘flag for the future’ to the seabed beneath the North Pole. The trek is part of an ongoing campaign calling for a sanctuary to be declared around the pristine and uninhabited area surrounding the North Pole. The region is currently under threat from climate change, oil companies, industrial fishing and shipping.
