'Act for Arctic' Ice Ride in Berlin

Rising global temperatures and the race for oil makes the Arctic one of the key battlegrounds of climate protection. In just two years, close to six million people have joined a global movement demanding the creation of an Arctic Sanctuary at the top of the world and a ban on offshore oil drilling and destructive fisheries in the entire Arctic Ocean.
