Wednesday August 21 (Barents Sea) - The Russian Government has denied permission for the Greenpeace icebreaker Arctic Sunrise to enter the increasingly busy Northern Sea Route (NSR), despite the ship having fulfilled all the requirements for such an entry.

Greenpeace International claims the decision is an attempt to prevent it from exposing the activities of Russian state-owned oil company Rosneft. Multiple vessels contracted by Rosneft and US partner ExxonMobil are conducting seismic testing and geological work in the Kara Sea  - in preparation for offshore Arctic drilling.

Since the six of us climbed the Shard, many people have asked: how did we do it? How much training did it take? How did we go to the toilet?
