Greenpeace Save Santa's Home Christmas cards - in pictures

A Christmas card designed by Raymond Briggs, illustrator and creator of The Snowman. He says: 'Father Christmas has been having a dreadful time as the Arctic sea ice melts because of climate change. I feel strongly that we should all do what we can to shine a light on this important issue, which in time will affect all of us no matter where we live' Photograph: Raymond Briggs/Greenpeace

Jamie Hewlett, artist and co-creator of the virtual band Gorillaz, has designed this card. He says: 'The beautiful white Arctic is one of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth. It is shocking and sad that oil companies want to drill there. You might have thought that the melting sea ice would be a wake up call to do something about climate change, not an opportunity to go further north to drill for more oil! It is great to be part of a growing movement to protect the Arctic because it would be unforgivable if the Arctic was destroyed while on our watch' Photograph: Gorrillaz/Greenpeace

Kurt Jackson, leading contemporary British artist, designed this card. He says: 'The Arctic exists as one of the last pristine regions of the planet demanding our protection, but more fundamentally its survival is crucial for the future of us all' Photograph: Kurt Jackson/Greenpeace

A Vivienne Westwood creation. 'The Arctic matters to all of us, and we all need to do everything we can to raise the alarm. My thoughts have been with the Arctic 30 ever since they were arrested. It’s just unacceptable to stay silent while innocent people are facing jail sentences,' says the fashion icon and campaigner Photograph: Vivienne Westwood/Greenpeace

Peter Schrank, political cartoonist for the the Economist and the Independent, designed this card. 'I always welcome the chance to draw a cartoon on an environmental subject. Much of the work I do is about squabbling politicians; front page headline today, cat litter tomorrow. Green issues are much more important and remain relevant,' he says Photograph: Peter Schrank/Greenpeace

A poster-like Christmas Card by Stanley Donwood who is known for his close association with the British rock group Radiohead, having created all their album and poster art since 1994. He says: 'Drilling for oil in the Arctic is one of the most wantonly stupid activities mankind has yet engaged in. When the planet is a dead husk floating in the vacuum of space, our sad ghosts will haunt the sites of our tragic desecration. Just stop it. Now' Photograph: Stanley Donwood/Greenpeace

Sarah Bartrisyia, a 13-year-old Malaysian girl guide, created this ‘flag for the future’ design, which was taken to the North Pole in April 2013 by a team of youth ambassadors as a symbol of collective commitment to save the Arctic. The design won a global competition run by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, and Greenpeace. The seven doves represent the seven continents; each carrying an olive branch which when brought together formed a laurel wreath, a symbol of Arctic protection. Sarah says: 'We need to protect the Arctic because it is the home of many indigenous peoples and many animal species. It should be declared a global sanctuary. We can only save the Arctic for the future generations if we are united in peace and harmony' Photograph: Greenpeace

Wayne Hemmingway, fashion designer and co-founder of Red or Dead, designed this card dedicated to the Arctic 30. 'Your bravery, dedication and love you show for this precious planet we live on makes us all proud. Arctic 30 you have gone down in history for all the right reasons,' he says Photograph: Wayne Hemmingway/Greenpeace
