希望之火 (胰岛素).
希望之火(英文:Flame of Hope)是一盏为了纪念弗雷德里克·格兰特·班廷爵士发现了胰岛素、同时也为了纪念一切受到糖尿病影响的人们而设立的长明灯。 与此同时,它也提醒着我们,胰岛素只是控制而并非治愈了糖尿病。它代表了对尽快找到治愈方法的希望。
这盏火只会在发现了糖尿病治愈方法之后被熄灭。届时,发现该方法的团队将会被接来当地,亲手完成熄灭火焰这一工作。
希望之火是由伊丽莎白王太后于1989年7月7日在4000余名观众的见证下点燃的。[1]
位置与结构
希望之火位于加拿大安大略省伦敦。它坐落于弗雷德里克·格兰特·班廷爵士广场(Sir Frederick G. Banting Square),毗邻于班廷小屋(Banting House)。
火焰之下的纪念碑是由罗伯特·吉尔德(Robert Geard)设计的,是一座15吨重的缟玛瑙花岗岩材质的纪念碑,高2.1米(6.9英尺)。纪念碑可以抵抗酸雨侵蚀,火焰在协调人George Prociw的帮助下被设计为可以防风、防雨雪。
火焰由天然气系统提供燃料,周围有一圈花岗岩做为火焰的护盾。[2]
