Seth On Ice

“People need to know about what is being lost, and I think it is an inspired idea to get sculptors or writers or photographers or other artists to come on what is largely a scientific expedition," says Vikram Seth, currently on board a schooner on its way to Greenland as part of the Cape Farewell Voyage of the High Arctic. He's accompanied by a host of artists from Britain, Canada, Australia, the US and Japan, and you can follow the progress of the expedition here.
