Prudhoe Bay

Prudhoe Bay (Deadhorse) Alaska is home to the largest oil field in North America. It is located in Alaska between the coast of the Beaufort Sea and the North Slope of the Brooks Range Mountains. It is about 1200 mi. south of the North Pole and 250 mi. north of the Artic Circle. Wildlife in the area: Artic Fox, Artic Ground Squirrels, Grizzly Bears, Polar Bears, Musk OX, Artic Hares, Caribou and over 200 different bird and waterfowl species including geese, swans, seagulls and eagles. During the winter only the artic fox, ravens, and the occasional polar bear can be seen. Ice roads are built during winter to reduce the damage to the environment for access to remote drill sites. Conditions need to be twenty below zero or less for construction thus limiting exploration drilling to the Winter in most cases.
