Greenpeace crew on the Greenpeace ship Esperanza have intercepted the Cairn Energy's Leiv Eiriksson oil rig and prepare the pod they will use during the occupation of the rig. The activists want to stop the Leiv Eiriksson oil rig from drilling in Baffin Bay, one of the most pristine and fragile natural areas in the world, home to important and vulnerable wildlife. The Leiv Eiriksson is operated by Cairn Energy and is the only rig in the world currently set to begin new deep sea drilling in the Arctic making it a clear and present danger to the pristine arctic environment.
