Early this morning, as the Rosneft-contracted vessel Akademic Lazarev began firing underwater sound cannons up to 250 decibels in the Fedynskiy license block, Greenpeace approached the vessel, demanding that it stop operations immediately. Rosneft has recently signed joint deals to drill in the Arctic with international oil companies including ExxonMobil, BP and Statoil.Locations:Barents SeaDate:13 Aug, 2013Credit:© Will Rose / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-British Petroleum (BP)-Copy space-Day-ExxonMobil (Esso)-Greenpeace activists-Greenpeace inflatables-KWCI (GPI)-MY Arctic Sunrise-Offshore drilling-Oil (fossil fuel)-Oil (Industry)-One person-Outdoors-Rosneft-Save the Arctic (campaign title)-Seas-Seismic testing-Ships-Statoil-WomenShoot:Confronting Arctic Oil TourThe MY Arctic Sunrise is in the Arctic to expose and confront Russian oil companies like Rosneft and their Western partners like Exxon Mobil, Statoil and BP, who are preparing to drill in the region.
