Arnaud Tortel is devoting his experience and extraordinary strength of spirit to a great, wonderful and very simple cause: world peace. He has found a partner in Christiane Gugger, the world-famous pianist and founder of the association "Creation of Works for Peace". "Creation of Works for Peace" brings together Abbot Pierre, Dr Dalil Boubakeur, rector of the Paris mosque, rabbi François Garaï, pastor Shafique Keshavjee, the Hindu Svâmi Amarananda, the Tibetan Buddhist Trijang Chogtrul Rinpoché, and they have all agreed to sponsor the Trans-Arctic 2000 expedition and to appear together on a flag symbolising peace that will be raised at the North Pole.
