Two Greenpeace volunteers and a British photographer were arrested last night attempting to expose oil company BP Amoco's destruction of the Arctic. The three were documenting BP Amoco's Arctic oil project when they were arrested by Alaska State troopers. The arrests occurred just before the arrival of a party of journalists invited by BP to visit the construction site of Northstar - the first offshore oilrig in the Alaskan Arctic Ocean.
