A protester unveiled a Greenpeace flag at the skyscraper's summit
Greenpeace activists who were arrested after climbing to the top of London's Shard are in police custody.
The six women were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass after their 16-hour ascent on Thursday in protest against Arctic oil drilling.
At the summit of skyscraper two of them unfurled a blue flag with Save the Arctic written on it.
The Shard is 1,016ft high (310m) and has 87 storeys.
The women evaded security guards to begin their climb in the early morning.
They said the protest was intended to put Shell and other oil companies in the spotlight and they live streamed the stunt.
As the protesters reached the summit, Greenpeace UK executive director John Sauven said: "It is an honour to stand here at the foot of Europe's highest building and witness this remarkable achievement by these women.
"Watching them fly the flag to protect the Arctic from the top of the Shard is a remarkable sight."
In a statement Shell said oil and gas production from the Arctic "was not new".
A Shard closed its viewing area, The View, on floors 68, 69 and 72, "in the interests of public and protester safety".
It said it would honour booked tickets on a different date.
The Qatari-owned building, which was opened in February, contains offices, restaurants, a hotel and residential apartments.
