Greenpeace activists are calling for an end to oil exploration in the Arctic.

A member of the group dawned a polar bear suit and paddled down the Moscow river on Monday, opposing a plan by Norwegian and Russian state oil giants from carrying out drilling in the region.

The two firms, Statoil and Rosneft, have agreed on the joint exploration project, and a final decision will likely be made at Statoil's shareholder meeting next month.

Last month, protesters from the environmental group scaled a landmark Jerusalem bridge, calling for visiting U.S. President Barack Obama to halt Artic oil exploration.

In February, the United Nations said that the polar region needed better protection, especially at a time when thinning ice is making exploration in the region easier.
