Greenpeace demands an end to oil and gas exploration in the Arctic.<br/> <br />A slick of oil floats near their North Sea mission.<br/> <br />The environmental organisation released this footage of Total's Elgin platform, which has been leaking gas for more than a week.<br/> <br />The French company is spending $1 million a day trying to plug the leak.<br/> <br />The Greenpeace expedition chief says the air smells of chemicals.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) GREENPEACE EXPEDITION LEADER, DR. CHRISTIAN BUSSAU:<br/> <br />"This accident is a serious accident. It will not be easy for Total to solve the problem and therefore our demand is: No oil exploration in the Arctic, this is far too dangerous, this is far too risky and therefore we do not want the oil industry to go into the Arctic.<br/> <br />Total plans to investigate sites where it can drill relief wells and begin injecting mud into the shaft to finally stop the leak.<br/> <br />Lindsey Parietti, Reuters
