The Arctic - threatened by oil exploration and development

Greenpeace have been campaigning for 20 years to stop oil development in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska. Over the last 4 years, Greenpeace volunteers have carried out several expeditions to document the impacts of climate change, gather the testimonies of local people and bear witness. They have also taken action to stop the construction of BP's Northstar, the first offshore oil drilling development in the Arctic.
