Greenpeace Intercepts Oil Drill Rig
The Greenpeace ship Esperanza near the Leiv Eiriksson drill rig. Greenpeace has intercepted the drill rig in the north Atlantic while en route to Greenland.
Greenpeace has been involved in a week-long search for the 53,000 tonne Leiv Eiriksson the only oil rig scheduled to begin new off-shore drilling operations in the Arctic this year. The rig is due to start dangerous deep water drilling operations as early as next week. Financial investors in Scotland's Cairn Energy - the operators of the Leiv Eiriksson- are currently on a tour of the company's operations in the Arctic.
