A Greenpeace activist is reflected in an oil spill, near Pyt-Yakh.
Disastrous oil spills are a daily routine at Rosneft fields near Pyt'-Yah, Khanty-Mansi region, Siberia.
Greenpeace Russia is on an expedition to Rosneft’s oil fields Mamontovskoe and Yuzhno-Balyksky in the Khanty-Mansiysk district to document the consequences of their operations, which have turned thousands of hectares of forests and mires into environmental disaster zones just in a matter of years. Rosneft has received at least 23 license blocks from the Russian government for oil exploration and production on the Arctic shelf.
