ANTARCTICA
One of the drawings from the giant banner broke a world record with sailor Lisa Blair as she circumnavigated Antarctica in 92 days in her yacht Climate Action Now. Lisa signed the drawing (what she wrote) and it will be returned to its very talented Sri Lankan artist very soon! Marji, Daniel (the dinosaur) and Connor were thrillled to hold the drawing just after it was taken down from Lisa’s mast before she signed it. Watch Connor and Daniel interview Lisa about her epic journey!
