Greenpeace recreates Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat

Greenpeace activists today unveiled a model of the Noah’s Ark they built on Turkey’s Mount Ararat – the site the original Biblical Ark is said to have landed after the great flood – and appealed to world leaders to take immediate action against climate change.

The wooden ship was built by volunteer carpenters from Turkey and Germany on top of the mountain in eastern Turkey which borders Iran to urge leaders to deal with global warming.
