Actress Lucy Lawless boards ship to protest Arctic oil drilling
Actress Lucy Lawless and six other Greenpeace activists boarded an Arctic-bound Shell oil-drilling ship in Port Taranaki, New Zealand, on Friday morning, causing authorities to close the port.
The group scaled a 53-meter derrick on the Liberian-flagged Noble Discoverer around 7 a.m. local time.
Lawless told msnbc.com that her heart was pounding and she was “a little shell-shocked” as they boarded, but that she now felt safe.
“We don’t need to trash the Arctic to get three more years’ worth of oil,” she said in a telephone interview from the ship.
