Greenpeace will risk a confrontation with the U.S. Navy in Antarctica next month to highlight the environmental group’s campaign to have the frozen continent declared an international park, the organization’s director said in Auckland, New Zealand. “We plan to go into the U.S. Navy base at McMurdo Sound in the Ross Sea and photograph their rubbish dumps, their supermarkets, their telephone poles, to show what they are doing to the last great wilderness,” said Peter Wilkinson, who plans to lead the expedition.
