Comments: Arrival in Reykjavik

Hello Lisa, all,
Really nice to hear from you, and I,m looking forward to read about your adventures in Iceland.

You said the crew only had met one Minke whale on their way to Iceland.

Just wanted to tell that the Minkes are loners and travel alone, but of course you're right, there should be more Minkes out there, they are NOT so abundant as the whalers want us to believe.

Well, go and save whales now, btw who needs to sleep!!!

Big hug,

Ann

Hi Lisa and the crew of the MV Arctic Sunrise

I would like to express all my support to GP campaign. Whenever you think we as cyberactivists may contribute something to save whales just ask us and I’m sure a great number of people will be ready to give a hand.

To begin with, I have to questions:

1- What’s the aim of the trip to Iceland? Is there any change in GP policy toward whaling, any declaration from the Icelandic government or something else…

2- You said that the crew will focus on the Climate Change issue. How can that by done? Are there any special advances in Iceland?

Hi again

I just want to comment on two quotas written by our wonderful web editor:

“It was the kind of stuff cyberactivists like me spend hours daydreaming about.”

I totally share this feeling with you. Every cyberactivist is looking for a job, a volunteering, even a simple request made by GP. But we can only achieve our dreams with serious work and patience. I wish you good luck Lisa.

“I hope to be able to talk to everyone in depth and find out about their own personal experiences with Greenpeace and how they feel about working in Iceland.”

I’m looking forward to know more about the crew, their careers, their daily activities and how did they get the opportunity to work for Greenpeace. Don’t forget to put a photo section on the weblog and please put pictures of whales. But are there any whale catching activities for the moment?

Take care

I’m glad to see we’ve got some comments on the weblog already. Keep them coming. We should have lots more photos up soon but I am afraid I am only able to upload one per post right now. I think a slide show is on the horizon. Unfortunately we haven’t had the time to create a crew profile page and believe me I did try! However, the crew will be submitting their own logs as often as I can drag their sorry fingers to a keyboard.

Hello Lisa,

Do keep the flag of "continued resistance to whaling" flying in Iceland I am very glad you are part of this resolute tag team.

Lisa

Please tell us more about the 66,000 people that refuse to go to Iceland is this the petition you speak of? What is Bjork's position on whaling. Why not get her involved? We are very proud of you Lisa.

I think it's wrong to kill whales and that they are allowing countries to kill them.I think it's
cruel to kill whales and we should learn to pertect animals and not kill animals.
