Pic of the day: A star is born

by Adele, from her flat in Stockholm

While we wait for more news from the Arctic Sunrise, the picture of the day just had to be of activist Karin Flack. Karin is one of the activists who climbed the mooring line of the Probo Koala, although luckily for her she wasn't the one who got an icy dip in the water.

In her homeland of Sweden, Karin has been quite a hero in the media. We got a bit of a chuckle at the Greenpeace office as papers arrived with headlines like, "HOW KARIN, 25, STOPPED THE DEATH BOAT". (Not to undermine her contribution, but I immediately had mental images of little Karin singlehandedly swimming through a shipping lane and turning the toxic tanker around). You can check out some video of Karin and the team in action on Ocean Defenders TV (choose the Baltic Sea channel and click on the video called "Action on the toxic tanker").

Meanwhile, important decisions are being made as to our next course of action, which of course is classified information at the moment. We will bring you the news as soon as it comes to hand. (Yes I know, vague ... but kind of exciting right?)
