Campaigners scale Greenland oil rig
Three Greenpeace campaigners have scaled an oil rig off the coast of Greenland in a bid to stop a Scottish company drilling in the area, according to the environmental group.
The 53,000 tonne Leiv Eiriksson rig is operated by Edinburgh-based Cairn Energy.
Greenpeace said the trio are hanging from the underside of the rig in an Arctic survival pod with enough supplies to stay there for 10 days.
