Greenpeace activists shut down a Shell petrol station early in the morning in Breukelen near Amsterdam. They hold banners with the text: "Stop Shell, save the arctic, Greenpeace". In the foreground two volunteers, disguised as a polar bear. The same action has taken place in more than 57 Shell petrol stations throughout the Netherlands in protest against the oil company's first attempt to drill for oil in the pristine Arctic last Sunday 9th September.
