Life on board
Every year, the Japanese whaling fleet sets sail to Antarctic waters to hunt whales in the Southern Oceans Whale Sanctuary. These bogus 'scientific' operations violate the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) sanctuary regime and undermine international law.
This year, 30 Greenpeace volunteers set off on board the MV Arctic Sunrise in pursuit of the whaling fleet - bearing witness to their activities, intercepting the fleet in inflatable dinghies, standing between the whales and the harpoons.
