The Arctic is melting faster than anyone predicted.
Climate change is here, and this affects us all.
It's time to stop and think, not go up there and drill for more oil.
This April, four young people will trek to
the North Pole to declare it protected for all life on earth
I'm just learning the first things that I
can't do
Here we go
I can't seem to stay on the snow, I'm just too big I think
We will get there, somehow
Renny
Woah I did it!
It kind of feels like it's a tough job
Josefina
Hopefully we don't fall too much
Kiera
How do you go to the bathroom up there?
Fast!
Why are we bringing this joker?
Ezra
I'm Sol, I'll be joining them, and I'm
way out of my league
We're not bringing in mobile showers? What are you guys talking about!
I'm definitely confused right now
We're not polar explorers, in fact we're
amateurs at best
My hands are starting to freeze
Welcome to the club
But we're coming together on behalf of millions on a mission to the top of the world
This expedition is no joke, it's a grueling
trek across the frozen Arctic Ocean that'll push us to our limits in more ways than one.
When we reach the north pole - if we make it - we're gonna cut a hole in the ice
and lower a capsule containing the names of almost 3 million of our supporters to the
seabed 4km below.
We'll mark the spot with a flag for the
future, a flag designed by a 13 year old girl, a flag that stands for global unity, a flag
that stands in opposition to previous attempts to claim this region for any one country
By raising our voices we can push those in
power to safeguard the Arctic for generations to come
Sounds like a challenge to me
So follow our journey, spread the word, and
together we might just change the world.
