Climate activist Greta Thunberg is sailing across the Atlantic Ocean so she can go to the United Nations (UN) Climate Action Summit in Madrid.
People can follow Greta's journey on an online tracker - it shows the places she's sailed through and the route that the boat is following.
At the moment Greta's sailing through the North Atlantic Ocean, and she's almost reached her destination! She's on target to arrive in Spain in early December.
This is Greta's latest post on Instagram. She posted it on day 18 of her trip - she's almost reached her destination!
