Moscow police have arrested 10 environmental activists,
including four dressed in polar bear costumes, who were protesting outside the
main office of Gazprom, the Russian oil and natural gas giant. A Russian
Greenpeace member told local news reporters that oil exploration in the Arctic
would "inevitably lead to physical destruction of the region" and
that Greenpeace is trying to "create a conversation zone around the North
Pole."
