“Across the Arctic, sculptors and musicians have worked together to create instruments carved out of ice.
Artists such as American ice sculptor Tim Linhart, and Icelandic drummer, Terje Isungset, have both created orchestras out of ice, with Isungset running his own annual ice music festival.
Collaborating with Greenpeace, Isungset and his orchestra performed outside on an ice floe – a sheet of floating ice – on the island of Spitsbergen in 2019 to raise awareness of how climate change is affecting our oceans.
Playing through temperatures of 10 degrees below Celsius under the midnight sun, they recorded this chilling, majestic work. Watch the most northerly ice concert ever, below.”
