Live Earth 2015 is a 24 hour live broadcast on 13/14 November via the dedicated website
‘The Skadoos’ is made up of eight station support staff (including an electrician, plumber, doctor and polar guide) who have just over-wintered at Rothera Station, enduring two months of complete darkness.
24 Hours of Reality and Live Earth brings the world together to highlight the issue of climate change globally. Former US Vice President Al Gore, artists and influencers, and millions across the planet will come together for a global day of action and music to celebrate progress across continents.
In 2007 Rothera Research Station band ‘Nunatak’ participated in Live Earth, which featured seven concerts across seven continents to raise the awareness of climate change. The 5-person indie rock band played two songs ‘If you’d do it all again’ and ‘how many people’, which were broadcast around the world to millions of viewers.
