The island is in the northern sector of the Barents sea in between Svalbard and the Norwegian mainland. The Arctic island is an important habitat for seabirds, particularly guillemots who use its steep cliffs for raising their young and feed in waters made more fertile by the dynamics of nearby ocean currents.Locations:Arctic-Arctic Ocean-Barents Sea-Bear Island (Norway)Date:21 Aug, 2014Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5366px X 3577pxKeywords:Beauty-Bird colonies-Coastal features-Day-Islands-KWCI (GPI)-Landscapes-Nature-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Outdoors-Rocks-Save the Arctic (campaign title)Shoot:Bear Island and Oil Exploration in Barents SeaThe crew of the Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza with resident oil spill expert Rick Steiner, and whale biologist Heike Vester, monitor oil exploration in the Barents Sea, where the wildlife and habitats are under threat, and Bear Island, a unique and pristine bird colony.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.Related Collections:Arctic Frontiers Campaign ImageryBear Island and Oil exploration Barents Sea (Photos & Videos)
