Activists on the Esperanza Tour in Pacific Ocean

Every morning at 8am crew members on the Greenpeace icebreaker Esperanza take part in the cleaning operation of the vessel. In the picture Aliyah Field sweeps the lower deck. Six people from around the world are tailing Shell's Arctic oil rig across the Pacific on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza. As ambassadors of a movement of millions, the six men and women want to expose Shell's reckless plans to drill in the remote Chukchi Sea in the Alaskan Arctic. The Esperanza has been tracking Shell's monstrous oil rig the Polar Pioneer since it left Brunei Bay in Malaysia.
