Activists on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza documented a large methane leak located in the British exclusive economic zone (position 57°55.41'N, 001°37.95'E) in the North Sea. Caused by a major blow-out incident during a gas drilling operation 30 years ago, the leak is still emitting the highly potent greenhouse gas methane.In original language:Untersuchung eines Methan-Lecks in der NordseeDer Monitor Mobiltelefons an Bord der Esperanza zeigt die Sonarbilder eins Methan ausstoßenden Kraters am Meeresboden der Nordsee. Greenpeace-Aktivistinnen an Bord des Schiffes Esperanza haben ein durch die Öl- und Gasindustrie verschuldetes Methan-Leck im britischen Sektor der Nordsee dokumentiert (Position 57°55.41‘N, 001°37.95’E). Aus dem Leck entweicht hochwirksames Treibhausgas. Der Krater am Meeresboden entstand bei Bohrungen nach Öl und Gas. Seit 30 Jahren treten dort große Mengen des Gases aus.Locations:Europe-North Sea-United KingdomDate:13 Aug, 2020Credit:© Marten van Dijl / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4663px X 3152pxRestrictions:IMAGE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD UNTIL 20 SEPTEMBER 2020.

Teams on board will gather evidence of the extreme industrialization of the region by the oil and gas industry, which has been polluting the ocean and fuelling the climate crisis with a “business as usual” attitude for several decades.Related Collections:Protect the North Sea: Esperanza Tracking the Fossil Fuel Industry (Selection of Photos & Videos)
