Exposed permafrost along the route of the trans Alaska oil pipeline is examined by a geologist employed by the line’s builders. Permafrost is defined as “unconsolidated deposits or bedrock that continuously have had a temperature below zero degrees Centigrade for two years or more.” In areas where the permafrost is “ice-rich,” the pipeline is elevated to avoid thawing the ground and thus losing support for the pipe., 1976 - 1977

This sign located at Prospect Creek pipeline construction camp suggests something of the climatic rigors associated with pipeline construction in Alaska. Prospect, one of seven original project camps constructed in the winter of 1969-1970 holds the record for the lowest temperature ever recorded in the United States – minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit in 1971. The camp is about 80 miles north of the Yukon River., 1976 - 1977

The first shipment of 48-inch-diameter pipe for the trans Alaska pipeline project arrived in Valdez in mid-September, 1969. A total of 419 miles of forty-foot joints of pipe was offloaded at the Valdez city dock for transfer to a pipe storage yard in Valdez, where the pipe remained until government approval of the project was secured in 1974. Visible in the center backgrouind, is the Valdez marine terminal for the pipeline, which was partially cleared in 1970., 1970 - 1974
