Givig the Arctic back its ice
"On November 18, 2023, I filled an ice cube machine with meltwater from the North Pole and returned the cubes to the Arctic Ocean (Båtsfjord, Northern Norway)."

The project was realized during the artists fellowship at the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) Potsdam 2023/24, where she spent a year exploring the representation of the Arctic. The meltwater was provided to her by the journalist and author Birgit Lutz. Her journey was exclusively by public transportation, such as train, bus and ferry, with the exclusion of airplanes and cruise ships. The ice cube machine was powered by a solar battery (charged in advance with Westphalian sunlight)."

Was pleasantly surprised to see the BBC giving an Indigenous woman more words in this story.

"On one of these annual 186-mile (300km) journeys, Ms Kabloona's grandmother went into labour and gave birth to her father in a tent along the way.

"Two days later, she got up and carried on walking," Ms Kabloona said.

"She did that in every single one of her pregnancies, traversed our land, because that is our way of life and always has been."”

"Show respect to the land and the people who have kept it pristine for your adventures."

Some good news (for the North):

Keir Starmer has committed £415m of 'new money' to the ongoing electricfcation & improvement of inter-city rail services around the North...

But, as if he admits, this is a £10bn project & so today's announcement is more of a small continuity payment than a massive shift in speed of completion of a project already running a decade late... but at least Rachel Reeves has not actually cut it back (yet).
