Watch: Protest Against Kremlin's Antarctic Seismic Survey Vessel Arrival in Cape Town

South Africa - Cape Town - 26 January 2023 - A group of people under the banner of Wildlife & Environment Society of SA (WESSA), demonstrated at the Port of Cape Town against the planned arrival of the Kremlin's Antarctic seismic survey vessel, the Akademik Alexander Karpinsky that is scheduled to dock in the harbour. According to the group, despite a mining ban, the Russian ship has built oil and gas maps of the endangered marine sanctuary and the Southern Ocean. Its airguns may be detrimental to unique species in the globally important conservation area. Photographer: Armand Hough. African News Agency (ANA)
