Seismic testing uses sound waves generated by air cannons to create detailed maps of undersea areas, to determine locations for oil drilling. This kind of activity has significant impacts on whales and other wildlife in the area. Underwater sound level over 180-190 decibels is dangerous for marine mammals: if they are within 450-500 metres of the air cannons (190 dB) they will lose their hearing permanently.Greenpeace activists approach the Rosneft-contracted vessel Akademik Lazarev, which is carrying out seismic exploration in the Russian Arctic. Activists in inflatable boats meet the seismic vessel with the banner message: "Rosneft don't kill the Arctic." Greenpeace is in the Russian Arctic to expose and confront Russian oil company Rosneft and its Western partners like Exxon Mobil, Statoil and BP, who are preparing to drill in the region.Locations:Barents SeaDate:14 Aug, 2013Credit:© Will Rose / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Audio equipment-British Petroleum (BP)-Day-Educational and research equipment-ExxonMobil (Esso)-Greenpeace inflatables-Helmets-KWCI (GPI)-Measuring tools-Men-Offshore drilling-Oil (fossil fuel)-Oil (Industry)-One person-Outdoors-Research-Rosneft-Save the Arctic (campaign title)-Seas-Seismic testing-StatoilShoot:Confronting Arctic Oil TourThe MY Arctic Sunrise is in the Arctic to expose and confront Russian oil companies like Rosneft and their Western partners like Exxon Mobil, Statoil and BP, who are preparing to drill in the region. Greenpeace is campaigning for a ban on offshore drilling in the Arctic, and for the uninhabited area around the North Pole to be declared a global sanctuary. Greenpeace and millions of supporters are challenging Rosneft and other companies at sea, on land, and online.Related Collections:Confronting Arctic Oil Tour (Photo + Videos)Seizmic Protest
