Leiv Eiriksson Oil Rig Journey

Greenpeace intercepts the Leiv Eiriksson oil rig as it attempts to head to Greenland’s Baffin Bay to start exploratory drilling. The Leiv Eiriksson is operated by Cairn Energy and is the only rig in the world currently set to begin new deep sea drilling in the Arctic – making it a clear and present danger to the pristine arctic environment.
