Henley and Johnson saw the opportunity for close collaboration between the arts and sciences as an inspiring way to highlight the urgent changes needed to protect the fragile polar regions. “It's strikingly beautiful. It's breathtaking. But it's also very clear how fragile it is when you see vast sheets of sea ice crack into tiny pieces, or the fronts of glaciers crumbling into the sea.”
Endangering these species also impacts the Arctic communities who depend on them for food, putting pressure on their traditional ways of living. Reduced sea ice cover also means less protection from storms and increased risk of coastal erosion.
