From Iceland’s Glaciers to the Deserts of Egypt

From the freezing cold of Iceland to the hot sun of Egypt, today's 350 EARTH events are proving to absolutely spectacular. This picture of a polar bear comes from the Langjokull Glacier outside of Reykjavik, where artists battled fierce winds and -15°C (5°F) weather to create the installation:

In Egypt, artist Sarah Rifaat and hundreds of Egyptian youth trekked out the desert outside Cairo to form an enormous scarab holding a sun to symbolize how solar energy can power Egypt's future. We're just getting photos in now, but here's one shot that's already being featured in the Guardian:

These pictures are just hours old and more are being uploaded as I write … incredibly exciting to watch this global event unfold thanks to all of the artists, volunteers, and every one spreading the word. Onwards with art!
