Danish navy arrest Greenpeace activists and capture the Arctic pod
Climbers working with the Danish navy have just broken into our pod
suspended from the Cairn Energy oil rig here in the Arctic seas off
Greenland and arrested the two Greenpeace climbers inside.
This morning we started taking direct action against the world's most controversial oil rig: Cairn Energy's Arctic driller, the 53,000 tonne Leiv Eiriksson, which was hours away from its drill site in Iceberg Alley off Greenland.

Well the good news is that our occupation of Chevron’s deepwater drill ship has reached the end of its third day and is still going strong. Timo and Naz are currently up in the pod and the word from them is that they could hardly be happier. Last time I heard from Timo he’d just finished tinkering with the solar panels and was relaxing after chowing down on a self-heating veggie curry.

Following a heroic 24 hours by Anais and Victor in the tent suspended off the anchor chain, today we stepped it all up a notch by bringing in a purpose-built half-tonne survival pod.
I say ‘we’ but in fact I just sat on the safety boat watching in awe at the rigging magic going on at the hands of Anais, Victor, Nazareth and Timo.
