Greenpeace activists board Kremlin state-owned oil platform
in Arctic in protest at rate of ice melting
Greenpeace has signalled its determination to try to halt
the Kremlin's march into the Arctic with activists led by its executive
director boarding an oil platform belonging to state-owned Gazprom.
It is the first time that the green group has taken
"direct action" against the Russian drilling and comes amid alarming
new evidence about the speed with which Arctic sea ice is melting.
