Arctic Sunrise protest Arctic Oil Drilling in Barent's Sea
Andreas, a Greenpeace activist protests a drilling platform in the Barents Sea. The platform called Songa Enabler is drilling for Norwegian oil company Statoil. Heavy fog is present during much of the protest but in some of these images the fog lifts enough to reveal the platform. Greenpeace volunteered to stay outside a 500 metre exclusion zone, with both their ship Arctic Sunrise, two RHIBs (inflatable boats) and several kayaks.

Global Movement Unites against Norwegian Oil in the Arctic
The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise is in the Norwegian Arctic to document, expose and challenge the Norwegian government and Statoil’s aggressive search for new oil in the Barents Sea. The Arctic Sunrise is carrying activists from all over the world, who are ambassadors for the People Versus Arctic Oil movement.
Greenpeace Nordic and its co-plaintiff, Natur og Ungdom (Nature and Youth), will face the government in Court in Oslo in November, where the new drilling will be subject to a historic climate lawsuit. They argue that granting licenses to open a new oil frontier breaches the Norwegian Constitutional right to a healthy and safe environment for current and future generations and contravenes the Paris Agreement.
