A group of fifteen Greenpeace activists from eight different countries boarded and climbed an oil rig in the **rwegian arctic Monday morning, protesting a **rwegian company's plans to drill there

The activists, who were in the area on the Greenpeace ship the MV Esperanza in the Barents Sea approximately 190 miles **rth of **rway, made the decision to board the drilling rig Transocean Spitsbergen, which was en route to the Hoop area in the Barents Sea, after learning that the **rwegian government had reversed an earlier decision blocking drilling in the region.
