Arctic Sunrise

The Arctic Sunrise has been part of the Greenpeace fleet since 1995 when it took its first trip to the North Sea to document marine pollution by oil from offshore installations.

Since then, the Arctic Sunrise has been all over the planet, including the Congo, the Amazon and most recently to a three-month expedition to the Antarctic to conduct scientific research on biodiversity in the region.

The civil society organisation, Whale Conservation Institute (ICB) and Greenpeace, aboard the SY Witness, a Greenpeace sailboat, tour around the area of the Argentine Sea where the oil industry plans to carry out seismic explorations, off the coast of Buenos Aires, Río Negro and Chubut. The Greenpeace ship toured for a week in the North Argentina basin, where the area is awarded to the oil industry. The Argentine Sea serves as the feeding ground and a migratory path of the Southern Right Whale and plays a natural importance especially for emblematic species of Argentine biodiversity.
