Odyssey (3)

The trip was hard but worth the experience. Our pilot was a retired airforce pilot, he was great and it was obvious the experience he had.

We learnt all about the "Tundra" and "Perma Ice". We saw sights and went to places that not many people have the opportunity to visit and I know more about the native Indians than I ever envisioned.

 

Even though you know the oil pipe is 800 miles long, it doesn't register until you travel along side it for 2 days. It is an amazing engineering accomplishment. It is primarily above ground because of the Perma ice and where possible it goes under ground. It has been built to withstand earthquakes and also not to freeze up during winter.
