Naidoo and Arnkvaern enter an exclusion zone to scale a controversial Arctic oil rig 120km off the coast of Greenland.At 5am this morning an inflatable speedboat carrying Naidoo and Arnkvaern was launched from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza. It evaded a Danish navy warship that has been circling the rig for several weeks. They then climbed a 30 metre ladder up the outside of one of the platform's giant legs to deliver a 50,000 signature petition demanding the public release of Cairn Energy's oil spill response plan.Their action comes a week after the operators of the oil platform, Cairn Energy, obtained an injunction against Greenpeace from a Dutch court, imposing fines of 50,000 Euros a day for any breach of the exclusion zone.Locations:Arctic-Davis Strait-Greenland-North Atlantic OceanDate:17 Jun, 2011Credit:© Jiri Rezac / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3744px X 5616pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Boarding actions-Cairn Energy-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Fossil fuel (energy)-Greenpeace activists-Greenpeace staff-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oil (fossil fuel)-Oil (Industry)-Oil drilling-Oil rigs-Outdoors-Two peopleShoot:Leiv Eiriksson Oil Rig JourneyGreenpeace intercepts the Leiv Eiriksson oil rig as it attempts to head to Greenland’s Baffin Bay to start exploratory drilling.
