ArtDaily.com reports that the big moment for the sculptures of Dutch artist Ap Verheggen has come.

As Joel and Galya worked at their great project “Uummannaq Music Festival” in Uummaannaq, Greenland, 590 kilometers north of the Artic Circle, the team of Cool(E)motion, placed two huge sculptures on an iceberg.
The sculptures start to float shortly and will make an uncertain trip through the Arctic oceans. Cool(E)motion attached GPS systems on the sculptures so everybody can see ‘live’ where they are drifting to.
The project is launched to show the impact of climate change on local cultures.
I wish I would be there : ))
