Argentine activists install frozen surfboard in NYC to urge Antarctic protection

Argentine brothers Joaquín and Julián Azulay placed a giant ice block shaped like a surfboard in New York's Times Square, part of a campaign to raise awareness and collect signatures for Antarctic conservation. The installation follows similar displays in Buenos Aires and other cities, aiming to pressure governments ahead of Antarctic treaty negotiations. The initiative highlights growing public concern over Antarctic ice loss, though its direct policy impact remains uncertain.
