The Dalton Highway is the highway from Fairbanks to Deadhorse in Prudhoe Bay and follows the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
One of the times the pipeline goes over the river. It's on the same bridge as the highway. Where there is permafrost, it makes construction of anything MUCH more difficult.
The next rest area.
Does this picture seem really bright to you? When the sun is out... it is REALLY bright.
Notice the sticks in the ground around here? Pay attention. Permafrost. When the pipeline is above ground, there is permafrost close to the surface. Remember this in all the pictures.
