Greta Thunberg has officially made it home to Stockholm, Sweden, after sailing across the Atlantic ocean and journeying through Europe for the U.N. Climate Summit.

To celebrate, the 16-year-old climate activist snapped a pic with her dogs, who looked very happy indeed to see her at long last. In case you were wondering, the dogs' names are Moses, the golden retriever, and Roxy, a Labrador.

Thunberg started her voyage to America back in Aug. 2019 in order to attend climate conferences in New York City and Chile.

When the location of the latter conference was changed from Chile to Spain, Thunberg had to find a way to sail back across the Atlantic Ocean in time for the U.N. Climate Summit.

Thunberg chose to sail to the U.S. as an alternative to flying, citing the incredible amount of carbon emissions caused by planes.

The activist, who spearheaded a global movement of youth climate strikes, was named Time magazine's Person of the Year while addressing world leaders at the U.N. Climate Summit in Madrid.

Bet she's happy to be home for a bit.
