Yet, the afternoon held a special surprise
for us at Cap Lee: the appearance of a rare

found myself once more immersed in a
tapestry of majestic beauty of the Arctic
wilderness.
I was utterly fascinated by the breath-
taking Arctic and the delicate harmony of
its ecosystems, serving as a stark reminder
of the urgent need to combat climate
change and preserve God’s creation.
Despite the formidable challenges, I
found solace in nature’s resilience and in
humanity’s potential for innovation and
compassion.
In the tranquil expanse of the Arctic
wilderness, enveloped by glistening
glaciers and vast expanses of ice, I was
overcome with a profound sense of peace
and enlightenment – a testament to the
sanctity of life and the interconnectedness
of all living beings. By cherishing
and safeguarding every aspect of this
extraordinary environment, we honour the
richness of nature’s creation and embrace
our responsibility as stewards of this
remarkable legacy.
In the face of the daunting realities of
climate change, let us redouble our efforts
to preserve this precious landscape,
dedicated to ensuring its beauty and
diversity for the enduring benefit of future
generations.
