"Polar Pioneer"

Shell spent more than $8 billion and nearly a decade looking for oil in the Chukchi Sea, including $1.4 billion this year alone.

Shell is still moving its ships and equipment into the Arctic, even as one of its icebreakers prepares to head back south for repairs.

Billions of dollars worth of drilling equipment and support vessels operated by Royal Dutch Shell are sitting out in the Bay in front of Dutch Harbor this week.

A crowd of about 40 gathered in the drizzling rain outside Juneau’s federal building this Thursday to protest Royal Dutch Shell’s oil rig, the Polar Pioneer.

Greenpeace protesters have climbed down from an Arctic-bound drill rig in the Pacific.
