Cape Farewell, UK

Cape Farewell brings artists, scientists and educators together to bring about long-term change in cultural attitudes towards climate change. Created by artist David Buckland in 2001, Cape Farewell has led five expeditions to the High Arctic, the frontline of climate change including their first youth expedition in September 2007. From these expeditions has sprung an extraordinary body of artwork:

* A film co-produced by the BBC "Art from a Changing Arctic"
* Cape Farewell’s first major book title "Burning Ice"
* The CD ARCTIC by Max Eastley [http://www.capefarewell.com/content/cd-eastley.php]
* Educational resources for GCSE Geography and Science
* A UN award-winning website

The project is widely acknowledgedViews needing attribution|date=September 2007 to be the most significant sustained artistic response to climate change anywhere in the world.

In September 2008, Cape Farewell travels to Greenland to continue the work started in 2007. The Art/Science crew begin on 25 September their 9 day sail in West Greenland, visiting the spectacular Disko Bay area. Working in partnership with the British Geological Survey, the scientists will extend their investigations of climate change with extensive surveying below the seabed. The expedition will then continue west, towards Canada where oceanographers will measure an ocean tract across the Labrador Current.

The crew: Musicians Laurie Anderson, Vanessa Carlton, Jarvis Cocker, Leslie Feist, Robyn Hitchcock, Ryuichi Sakamoto, KT Tunstall, Martha Wainwright, Luke Bullen, Beatboxer Shlomo, Composer Jonathan Dove, Comedian Marcus Brigstocke, Theatre Makers Mojisola Adebayo, Suzan-Lori Parks, Artists Kathy Barber, David Buckland, Sophie Calle, Jude Kelly, Michèle Noach, Tracey Rowledge, Julian Stair, Chris Wainwright, Architects Francesca Galeazzi, Sunand Prasad, Poet Lemn Sissay, Photographer Nathan Gallagher BBC presenter Quentin Cooper, Senior Lecturer (Open University), Joe Smith, Activist David Noble, Media Executive Lori Majewski and Film Director Peter Gilbert join Oceanographers Simon Boxall, Emily Venables and Geoscientist Carol Cotterill for a journey to the Arctic and the frontline of climate change.
