Greenpeace installed an Arctic portal in London's Trafalgar Square to share live footage of the Antarctic Peninsula and encourage people to protect the oceans. Oftentimes, it's not easy to connect with different parts of the world and various causes unless they are brought to one's attention, and these portal installations help to put the climate crisis front and center.
In particular, this portal shines a light on a recent Antarctic expedition last week, Greenpeace activists encountered a breeding colony of Gentoo penguins who had relocated to an area too cold to rear chicks, as a result of climate change. The charity is joining forces with a team of scientists from the United States' Stony Brook University to study penguin populations in the Antarctic Peninsula.
