Greenpeace Blocks Oil Drilling in Greenland

Greenpeace forced a Scottish company to stop drilling off Greenland on Tuesday by having four activists climb onto an oil rig.

The activists, having breached a 1,650-feet (500-meter) security perimeter around the Stena Don rig off western Greenland, climbed up the rig and fastened themselves to it, police spokesman Morten Nielsen told The Associated Press.

The breach triggered an automatic shutdown of the rig's operations.

The activists are still on the rig and will be arrested, said Nielsen.
