TECHNICAL SHEET
Vast, wild, yet extremely fragile. The coldest place on our planet is also one of the most affected by global warming and needs to be protected. The expedition focuses on exploring, documenting, and surfing in the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, in the area known as Domain 1, which is being pushed for Marine Protected Area (MPA) status. Protected areas are very important for mitigating climate change and, in this case, also for regulating human activities such as concentrated fishing. This film helps us understand the importance of this area and the threats affecting it.
Antarctica is the only continent that belongs to humanity and it is our responsibility as inhabitants of this planet to take care of it.

FROZEN BOARD
A SURFBOARD IN A BLOCK OF ICE
INTERVENES THE CITY RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT ANTARCTICA
THE FROZEN BOARD
One of the surfboards used during our Antarctic expedition remains trapped inside a large block of ice that is slowly melting in front of the public.
As the ice disappears, the installation transforms into a visual metaphor for the fragility of Antarctica, a key region for the planet's climate balance and currently threatened by climate change and concentrated krill fishing.
Through this artistic intervention, we seek to bring the conversation about Antarctica to public spaces in some of the world's most important cities, inviting people to actively get involved.
Each installation allows access to the film ANTARCTICA – DOMAIN ONE and sign the petition to support the creation of the Domain One Marine Protected Area, one of the most important conservation proposals currently under discussion for the Antarctic continent.

ON DOMAIN ONE AND THE REQUEST
1. General Protection Zone. It covers two biologically rich areas (the Bransfield and Gerlache straits) and would prohibit krill fishing in the coastal feeding areas of Antarctic predators. 2. Krill Fishing Area. This zone would allow commercial krill fishing for member countries, under the management of CCAMLR (Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) conservation measures.
CCAMLR is working to advance ecosystem-based fisheries management to ensure the long-term survival of the fishery and protect the many species that depend on Antarctic krill.
This request will be presented to the authorities of the member countries of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), with the aim of supporting the creation of a Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Domain 1, a region encompassing the Western Antarctic Peninsula and the Southern Scotia Arc. The proposal, developed jointly by Argentina and Chile, includes two types of protected areas: General Protection Zones, where fishing would be prohibited year-round, and Seasonal Protection Zones, where fishing activities would be prohibited during the austral summer. These measures would protect important feeding grounds for penguins, whales, seals, and seabirds, as well as spawning grounds for Antarctic krill, a keystone species for the functioning of the entire region's ecosystem.
