A deluxe cruise called the MV Crystal Serenity began its voyage from Alaska to New York on 16^th August 2016. It was planned to conduct the journey for a month through Canada and Greenland. The cruise was escorted by the UK’s ice-strengthened polar logistics and science vessel RRS Ernest Shackleton, for safety backup.

Rod Downie as WWF-UK Polar Programme stated that the journey done by Crystal Serenity would make the condition in Arctic more critical. He added that even if the cruise tried to reduce the possibility of oil spill and choose less heavy fuel oil, the risk taken by Crystal Serenity was so serious.

People indeed have to pay more attention to preserve environment as everything we need to survive is from our environment. If we spoil it, then we will not survive. In my opinion, people should make a practical movement to save the earth instead of only enjoying its beauty and risking its sustainability.
