Whale Warriors
Sea Shepherd crew assemble under a Jolly Roger on the bow of their ship, the M/Y Steve Irwin, on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2008 in Brisbane, Australia. Two days later the self-styled, modern-day, 'eco-pirates' (a radical offshoot of environmental group Greenpeace) departed on a three-month campaign to stop what they deem are illegal Japanese whaling operations in Antarctica's Southern Ocean.
