Rockall Occupation and Atlantic Frontier Action in the Atlantic Ocean

Greenpeace occupies Rockall, a small island in the North East Atlantic, as part of its Atlantic Frontier campaign to highlight oil exploration in the area. The activists land on the Rockall with a yellow solar powered pod anchored onto the rock with steal and heavy duty straps. Greenpeace opposes new developments in oil exploration on the grounds of climate change.
