Trans Alaska Oil Pipeline

The Trans Alaska Oil Pipeline stretches nearly 800 miles from the Arctic Ocean to Valdez Bay in southcentral Alaska. Its construction was an impressive engineering feat, crossing mountain ranges, rivers, and vast regions of permafrost and tundra. In the treeless high Arctic, it's a prominent feature of the landscape.
