Paris joggers caught an unusual sight by the Eiffel Tower _ an iceberg floating on the capital's Seine River.

A day ahead of Group of Eight summit in L'Aquila, Italy, Greenpeace installed a 16-meter-high (52-foot-high) plastic iceberg on the Seine to call upon G-8 leaders to fight climate change.

Paris Greenpeace director Pascal Husting said Tuesday that activists want the heads of state "to commit to binding targets of greenhouse gas emission reductions" and aid to southern countries expected to be most hit by climate change.

Global warming and worldwide emissions cuts are on the agenda of the G-8 meeting of leaders from the United States, France, Japan, Britain, Russia, Germany, Canada and Italy, as well as leading developing countries.
