The structure (4m tall and weighing almost 4 tonnes) is broadcasting from the Antarctic Peninsula, where a Greenpeace International expedition last week discovered a new penguin colony, offering people the unique opportunity to see face-to-face the beauty and wonder of this fragile region. The initiative, run by Greenpeace UK, is part of Greenpeace’s Protect the Oceans campaign which is calling for ocean protection in the Antarctic and beyond through a Global Ocean Treaty which could be agreed at the UN in March.On Screen: Louisa Casson, Lead Campaigner onboard the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise currently in Antarctica.Locations:England-Europe-London-United KingdomDate:25 Jan, 2022Credit:© Suzanne Plunkett / GreenpeaceMaximum size:6301px X 4249pxKeywords:Day-Fountains-Greenpeace activists-Iconic Landmarks-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Props-Protect the Antarctic (campaign title)-Public engagement-Statues-WaterShoot:Portal to the Antarctic in London (Photos by S.
