Swimmers Daniel Rawer from Germany and Georgy Timofeev from Russia, protest by the seismic vessel Akademic Lazarev. The third day of protest by Greenpeace continues in the Barents Sea with swimmers in the water by the seismic vessel Akademic Lazarev. The swimmers unfurl a banner attached to a buoy that read 'Save The Arctic' next to the Rosneft contracted vessel. The Arctic Sunrise will continue patrolling the Russian Arctic in an effort to expose and confront Russian oil company Rosneft and its western partners like Exxon Mobil, Statoil and BP, who are preparing to drill in the region.
