Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced/350°F). Line the base and sides of a 17cm by 17cm square cake tin with baking paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the sides of the tin for easy removal.</p> <p>2. Combine the dates, maple syrup and 120 ml of water in a medium saucepan over a medium–high heat. Bring to the boil, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until the dates are pulpy. Remove from heat, stir in the orange juice and set aside to cool.</p> <p>3. Pulse the walnuts in a food processor until a flour forms. Set aside in a large bowl.</p> <p>4.

Pianist delivers performance of a lifetime at crumbling glacier

<p>An Italian pianist has delivered the performance of a lifetime at the Wahlenbergbreen glacier in Svalbard, Norway, to highlight the plight of global warming.</p> <p>As you can see in the video above, it’s quite a remarkable performance.</p> <p>Ludovico Einaudi performs <em>Elegy for the Arctic</em> on the baby grand piano, a moving piece he wrote specifically for the occasion. The soothing tones of his composition paired with the incredible visuals of the glacier make for a compelling video.</p> <p>In a news release Einaudi said, “Being here has been a great experience. I could see the purity and fragility of this area with my own eyes and interpret a song I wrote to be played upon the best stage in the world. It is important that we understand the importance of the Arctic, stop the process of destruction and protect it.”</p> <p>The timing of the video’s release is no coincidence as Greenpeace state in a blog post, “This week, delegates at the OSPAR Commission meeting in Tenerife, Spain, have an opportunity to take an important step in protecting the Arctic. The proposal before them would safeguard 10 per cent of the Arctic ocean, an area roughly the size of the UK.”</p> <p>Make sure you watch the video the whole way through. The compelling visuals combine with the soothing music that make this video a must watch.</p> <p>What did you think of the video above? Have you ever visited a glacier? And are you concerned about the impact of global warming?</p> <p>Share your thoughts in the comments.</p> <p><em>Video credit: YouTube / Ludovico Einaudi</em></p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/travel/cruising/2016/05/5-things-you-must-do-to-avoid-seasickness-on-a-cruise/"><em><strong>5 things you MUST do to avoid seasickness on a cruise</strong></em></a></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/travel/cruising/2016/05/10-things-you-must-never-do-in-a-cruise-cabin/"><em><strong>10 things you must never do in a cruise cabin</strong></em></a></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/travel/cruising/2016/05/po-ships-first-new-zealand-cruise/"><strong><em>P&amp;O’s first cruise around New Zealand</em></strong></a></span></p>
