The arrest ends their occupation of the Noble Discoverer which lasted 77 hours. The Shell contracted drillship is heading to the Arctic to start drilling for oil. Shell is positioning itself to be at the head of an oil-rush into the Arctic, in expectation that climate change will continue to drive up the average Arctic summer ice melt, and so make drilling in the region easier. Oil spills are virtually impossible to clean up in Arctic conditions.Locations:Aotearoa-Oceania-TaranakiDate:27 Feb, 2012Credit:© Nigel Marple / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3000px X 2062pxKeywords:Actors-Aerial view-Arrests-Banners-Boarding actions-Climate (campaign title)-Climbing equipment-Day-Greenpeace activists-Hard hats-Industrial structures-KWCI (GPI)-Occupation actions-Oceans (campaign title)-Offshore drilling-Oil (Industry)-Oil drilling-Oil exploration-Outdoors-Police-Save the Arctic (campaign title)-Shell (commercial business)-Small group of peopleShoot:Activists Board Shell Drillship in New ZealandActress Lucy Lawless joins Greenpeace New Zealand activists in stopping a Shell-contracted drillship, the Noble Discoverer, from departing the port of Taranaki for the remote Arctic, where its exploratory oil drilling programme threatens to devastate the Alaskan coastline.Related Collections:Shell Abandons Arctic Drilling off Alaska Coast (Photo & Videos)Year in Pictures 2012 (Photo & Videos)Year in Pictures 2012 - Broad Edit (All Photographers)Activists Board Shell Drillship in New Zealand (Photo & Video)
