Our crush of the year, 1st semester? Well we have two. Yes. 

Dr. José Xavier : Membro Honorário do BAS, um tributo. We are the students helped by our teacher of Languages & Literature who started to learn about polar education and created this blog, Geração Polar. 

We were prepared to talk with Dr José Xavier at our school. Unfortunately the school was closed by a strike and we couldn't meet the polar scientist who gently accepted the invitation of our teacher Prof. Gsouto.

The second? Lembra Senhor dos Anéis? Monte Ruapehu perigo de erupção. This one for reading reasons. We loved to know The Lord of Rings sequel read in Languages curriculum.

It was so excited to follow the adventures of Frodo that passed by Mount Ruapehu, made famous by the Lord of the Rings films.

Vozes pelo Árctico : concerto Ludovico Einaudi no... Árctico

O pianista e compositor italiano Ludovico Einaudi deu um concerto no Árctico. O concerto organizado pela associação ambientalista Greenpeace aconteceu numa plataforma flutuante semelhante a um iceberg em frente ao glaciar de Wahlenbergbreen, na região de Svalbard, Noruega. 

Tratava-se de dar visibilidade ao problema da redução da superfície gelada do Árctico, devido às alterações climáticas.

Ludovico Einaudi compôs uma peça especialmente para a ocasião a que deu o título “Elegia pelo Árctico". O compositor viajou até à região polar a bordo do navio Arctic Sunrise, da Greenpeace.

O concerto faz parte da iniciativa Vozes pelo Árctico, lançada na semana em que a associação ambientalista reúne no contexto da Convenção OSPAR (Comissão Internacional para a Protecção do Meio Marinho do Atlântico Nordeste), na ilha de Tenerife, em Espanha.

O piano de Ludovico Einaudi associa-se assim, às vozes de cerca de oito milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo que se juntam à associação ambientalista no apelo pela protecção do Ártico.

O concerto deve ter sido uma sensação maravilhosa para quem esteve no Árctico! Uma coisa é ouvir em vídeo, outra terá sido o som que ecoou pelo Árctico.

Só podemos agradecer a Ludovico Einaudi, uma voz musical tão importante e conhecida mundialmente - somos seus fãs - ter-se juntado a esta causa ambientalista a favor do Árctico.

Greenpeace holds a historic concert with pianist Ludovico Einaudi on the Arctic to call for its protection. 

Two weeks ago the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise set off from the Netherlands carrying a very special load: the voices of eight million people. Messages from around the globe calling for governments to save the Arctic from threats such as oil drilling and destructive fishing.

The composer Ludovico Einaudi has turned eight million voices into music, Elegy for the Arctic, specially composed to help protect the Arctic.

"As he performed this piece for the first time - in front of a magnificent surging glacier - the music echoed across the ice, a moment that will remain in our minds forever."

Through his music, acclaimed Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi has added his voice to those of eight million people from across the world demanding protection for the Arctic. Einaudi performed one of his own compositions on a floating platform in the middle of the Ocean, against the backdrop of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier in Svalbard, Norway.

The timing of Einaudi’s performance is not by chance. This week, delegates at the OSPAR Commission meeting in Tenerife, Spain, have an opportunity to take an important step in protecting the Arctic. The proposal before them would safeguard 10% of the Arctic ocean, an area roughly the size of the UK. Read more here

It is urgent. The Arctic ocean is the least protected sea in the world, its high seas currently have no legal safeguards. As the ice cover decreases with rising temperatures, this unique area is losing its frozen shield, leaving it exposed to reckless exploitation, destructive fishing trawlers and risky oil drilling. Read more here


We loved the idea. A concert in the Arctic by Ludovico Einaudi, a well known musician and composer, so admired in the world. We are fans.

He came to Portugal and his concerts were just wonderful.

Such an important voice pledging for the Arctic! Thank you Einaudi. And thank you Grennpeace always so creative in its fight to protect our planet.
