The climate protest group Greenpeace is bragging the capture of two music icons – British six-time Grammy winner Jacob Collier and Norwegian alt-pop superstar AURORA – for ‘a magical performance in the Arctic, released today.’

The stars appear together on a platform floating amidst icebergs in front of the imposing glacier, Sveabreen, Svalbard. They perform a haunting mash-up of their two songs, A Rock Somewhere and The Seed, in a rallying cry for ocean and climate protection.

Jacob Collier said: ‘The moment I heard about an opportunity to jump aboard one of the legendary Greenpeace ships, head to Arctic waters, and sing a song with one of my favourite artists next to a mighty glacier, I knew I was signing up for something special. What I hadn’t foreseen was quite how transformative and moving the experience would be, and how much it would teach me – musically, energetically and environmentally.’
