A Greenpeace inflatable boat is seen next to Japan's whaling fleet's factory ship Nisshin Maru and hunter vessel Yushin Maru No 2 in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary January 18th, 2008. Greenpeace said its protest ship, Esperanza, had successfully stopped Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean after intercepting the fleet's factory processing ship, the Nisshin Maru, at the weekend and chasing it north through heavy seas.
