Clean up Svalbard


Adventure cruise tourists take part in a beach clean up on Spitzbergen in Svalbard as part of the Clean Up Svalbrd campaign. Detritus from fishing fleets and other shipping gets washed up on shore and can become a danger to wildlife.
The Svalbard reindeer, smaller than their mainland cousins, in particular can get their antlers caught in ropes and plastic.
