He’s launched the song in support of Greenpeace’s campaign for a vast Antarctic ocean sanctuary, with the pulsing track brought to life by striking black and white images of the area’s stunning landscapes and the wildlife that inhabits it.

 

The footage was filmed by Greenpeace during a three-month research expedition earlier this year.

 

The site will be discussed at the Antarctic Ocean Commission in Tasmania later this month, with the proposed area for the sanctuary based in the Weddell Sea. It would provide sanctuary for area's wildlife, including seals, penguins and whales.

 

Yorke says: “There are some places on this planet that are meant to stay raw and wild and not destroyed by humanity's footprint.

 

“This track is about stopping the relentless march of those heavy footsteps. The Antarctic is a true wilderness and what happens there affects us all. That's why we should protect it.”
