Inflatables from the Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza hinder the hunting, of minke whales by the Kyo Maru No. 1, but eventually a whale was killed. A Japanese whaler stands at the harpoon of the the Kyo Maru No. 1. Greenpeace is using every available means to bring the whaling hunt to an early end and make it the last time the Sanctuary is breached by the whalers.
