December produced the least snow in the Alps in the last 100 years.

The melting Arctic is changing our world. Let’s protect it. . En Diciembre hubo la menor cantidad de nieve en los Alpes en los últimos 100 años.

Everyone needs to rest. Polar bears can’t swim forever, less sea ice means they have to swim further. We are the generation that ends oil. We are the generation that will save the Arctic. .

Young activists dive to form a circle above the art installation “The Silent Evolution” by Jason deCaires Taylor in Cancun. The action highlighted the rapid speed of sea level rise. Real people can’t live under water.

A year ago, seismic blasting operated by company TGS Nopec was followed off North-East Greenland. A Greenpeace activist is seen here monitoring the procedure with a hydrophone. The sound intensity above water is equal to a jet engine taking off, times ten. Can you imagine what this noise does to marine wildlife? Right this moment, the Indigenous People of Clyde River in Canada are taking their government to court to stop seismic blasting in their homes. It’s simple: a) we’ve witnessed the damage seismic blasting does b) we don’t need to find more oil. So let’s help protect Clyde River from devastation. . Hace un año, la empresa TGS Nopec siguió un procedimiento de explosiones sísmicas en el Noreste de Groenlandia. Un activista de Greenpeace es visto aquí supervisando el proceso con un hidrófono. Por encima del agua, la intensidad del sonido es equivalente al despegue de un avión multiplicado por diez. ¿Puedes imaginarte como afecta el ruido a la fauna marina? Ahora mismo, los pueblos indígenas de Clyde River están llevando el asunto a los tribunales para detener las explosiones sísmicas en sus hogares. El caso es simple a) hemos comprobado el daño que causan los procedimientos y b) no necesitamos encontrar más petróleo. Así que ayudemos a proteger Clyde River! . #ClydeRiver #stopseismicblasting #greenland #groenlandia #explosionessismicas #pictureoftheday #underwaterphotography (at Greenland)

Let’s save the Arctic together.

Un oso polar camina varado en Alaska. El año llega pronto a su fin, y nos enfrentamos con que el Ártico ha registrado el año récord de calor. Nunca ha estado tan claro que nuestro hogar esta en crisis. Es posible que hasta perdamos el hielo marino del Ártico por completo.

The Greenpeace Ship “Arctic Sunrise” sends a message of love for the ocean from Clyde Rive in the Canadian Arctic. With the courageous people of Clyde River, we are united against the exploration project approved off Clyde River’s coast, allowing seismic blasting in the region. Seismic blasting is a process to find oil by firing loud sonic explosions through the ocean. It disrupts migration paths of marine animals like narwhals and belugas and sometimes it causes them permanent hearing loss and even death. The Arctic Ocean is one of the many that could benefit from protection through a strong ocean treaty. We love ocean protection, and we’re united to make it happen! #arcticsunrise #oceanprotection #arcticocean #stopseismicblasting #clyderiver (at Clyde River, Nunavut)

Peaceful demonstrators carry a “Water Is Life” sign in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation at the LA office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The protest was one of many in a tenacious global day of action against the Dakota Access Pipeline, which risks over 200 rivers and streams that feed the land. Without that water there is no life. Victory for Standing Rock is victory for life. . Unos manifestantes pacíficos muestran un cartel diciendo “Agua Es Vida”, apoyando a la sioux de la nación de Standing Rock en la oficina del Cuerpo de Ingenieros de EE.UU. en Los Angeles. La protesta fue una de muchas en el día global de acción contra el oleoducto Dakota Access, que pone en peligro a 200 ríos y arroyos que alimentan a la tierra. Sin agua no hay vida. El triunfo de Standing Rock es hacer que triunfe la vida. #NoDAPL #keepitintheground #waterislife #savethearctic

Two walruses rest on an ice floe in front of Kvitøya (White Island) in the Svalbard Archipelago. The long-tusked walrus is often found lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These mammals are very sociable and communicate by loudly bellowing and grunting. The walrus was once threatened by commercial hunting, but today the biggest danger it faces is climate change. The ice cover has been changing rapidly, and shrinking too quickly for these species to adapt.

Last week, kayakers braved the cold to protest against the risk of an oil spill in the St. Lawrence River in Canada. Their signs read “Stop Pipelines: Protect Our Water and Climate”. These actions come as PM Trudeau said he approved two major oil pipeline expansions. If the project goes ahead, it'll be the equivalent of putting 5.9 million cars on Canada’s roads. Our planet is worth more than oil company profits. #stoppipelines #canada #justintrudeau #savethearctic (at St. Lawrence River)
