The Copenhagen Ice Bear, Melting, melting…
Sad but true, the newest Ice Bear will be meeting its demise. Our own producer Matt Jolly has left England to witness this tragic event for himself, but more importantly, he’s setting things up so you can watch it too.
If you’re not aware, the bear is a life-sized ice sculpture of the hunting Arctic polar variety. Over a number of days it will melt, leaving a bronze skeleton, a pool of water and (hopefully) a powerful environmental message. Anyone at the centre of Copenhagen’s Nytorv (New Square) will be able to reach out and touch the Ice Bear, themselves becoming a sculptor – “symbolic of how we all have the power to affect our delicate environment”.
You can watch this real-time sculpting and melting and sculpting. It will be streaming live, 5th – 17th December, at Telegraph.co.uk and NewScientist.com where you can join the WWF International’s Big Tent & Arctic Exhibition (and maybe catch a glimpse of a UN Climate Change Conference delegate).
