Greenpeace activist Francois-Xavier Bleau from Canada holds up a message in front of Mt Fuji where a multinational Greenpeace alpine team delivered similar messages of support and hope for the victims of the nuclear disaster Fukushima Daiichi to the summit of Mt Fuji.
Collected from thousands of people in Japan and all over the world, the
environmental organisation hopes that the messages will help unite the
people of Japan in opposition to nuclear power, and encourage the
Japanese authorities to listen to them. The climbing team is comprised of eleven
alpinists from Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland,
Sweden, Switzerland and the USA scaled the mountain.
