Bear Island and Oil Exploration in Barents Sea

The 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.
