Greenpeace climbs, sets up camp on Shell’s Arctic drilling rig
Protesters with the environmentalist group Greenpeace on Monday intercepted and climbed a Royal Dutch Shell drill rig in the Pacific Ocean to protest the company’s plans to drill in Alaska’s Arctic.
According to a release from Greenpeace, six activists launched from the vessel Esperanza and boarded the rig around dawn Monday in the Pacific Ocean, more than 700 miles northwest of Hawaii. The drill rig, the Polar Pioneer, isone of two vessels contracted by Shell in advance of a possible 2015 drilling season. The Polar Pioneer is meant to stand by in Dutch Harbor as a backup to the other drill ship, the Noble Discoverer.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
