Hanging out on the Stena Carron's anchor chain.

A short but sweet clip of Greenpeace climbers Anais (from Germany) and Victor (from Sweden) in their Portaledge on the anchor chain of the Chevron drilling ship, the Stena Carron, off the Shetland coast.

According to Victor the weather is fine, both he and Anais are "very happy", and they have enough food to stay for two weeks!

Whilst they remain in position, the giant ship cannot move. It was due to leave anchor to drill for oil in the deep waters of the Atlantic off Shetland's west coast.

Plastic comes from oil? Wow, good job we've got you to help us out with these fiddly little details. But despite your keen perception, it seems you've missed our ongoing tuna campaign. I don't get the Argentina reference though. web editor gpuk
