The Shell-leased icebreaker MSV Fennica approaches the St. Johns Bridge where climbers and kayaktivists block its way as it attempts to return to the Arctic. The Fennica came to Portland to have a gash in its hull repaired after being damaged in the Arctic as Shell prepared to explore for oil in the Chukchi Sea.
