Californian data analytics and market researcher Linda Zunas, 42, organised the march and told The Independent she was motivated by Mr Trump's approach to environmental policies.
"I set it up because I wanted to participate in the Women's March," Ms Zunas said. "I spent a month after the election mourning the impending damage to the earth that will be done. I felt like I needed to do something to be part of the global movement."

Ms Zunas said about 30 men and women, an "international group of eco-minded visitors" ranging in age from 24 to 87, took part in the march. They held banners declaring "love rules in Antarctica", "Penguins March for Peace" and "Seals for Science".

Ms Zunas said that, because of the environmental sensitivity of the setting, the march was short as the protesters had to limit their footprints and impact on the land.
