3D Mapping of Arctic Sea Ice
During a few weeks in the Arctic summer of 2012 the Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise hosted scientists from Cambridge University, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and ScanLAB Projects. The aim of the expedition led by Peter Wadhams of Cambridge University was to capture the true 3D shape of Arctic sea ice for the first time with emphasis of pressure ridges.
The expedition was carried out in Fram Strait, the body of water between Greenland and Svalbard, also refereed to as the place where sea ice comes to die.

Arctic Sunrise 'Save the Arctic' Tour
Greenpeace MY Arctic Sunrise expedition to witness Arctic sea ice reaching the lowest level since records began in 1979. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, on September 16th 2012, the sea ice covered only 1.32 million square miles, or 24 percent, of the Arctic Ocean, the lowest amount ever recorded.
The campaign to save the Arctic then continues in Russia and in the Barents Sea. Greenpeace takes action to stop attempts by oil companies to exploit the region’s resources for short term profit. Activists, including Greenpeace International Executive Director, Kumi Naidoo, take part in a series of actions held to prevent Gazprom from completing the work that will allow them to begin drilling in this fragile region. Gazprom looks set to begin full commercial drilling operations by early next year, becoming the first ever company to start commercial oil production in the offshore Arctic.
