Dutch sculptor reflects on climate change

A Dutch artist has installed steel sculptures on icebergs off the coast of Greenland. They are expected to drift southwards on top of the ice and ultimately end up in the ocean as the ice melts.

Sculptor Ap Verheggen, who is supported by the World Wildlife Fund, hopes to raise awareness about climate change through the project, dubbed "coolEmotion."

The two sculptures depict an Inuit directing a dog sled team, equipped with a traditional long whip. Verheggen believes that global warming has affected Inuit culture, and that melting icebergs threaten its survival.

To raise awareness for their cause globally, the sculptures will be fitted with monitors enabling a worldwide audience to follow their journey atop the iceberg through coolEmotion's web site.
