This is the STP (Seawater Treatment Plant) facility. It's awesome. It's a big barge that was shipped over from Korea, and then sunk on the coast of the artic ocean. It's enormous - as you can see by the ladder there. The bottom of the ladder has a big cage around it - to prevent polar bears from getting in there.
Sunset from the BOC (Base Operations Camp) - on the west side of the field. This is taken through a window, so it's a bit fuzzy...
The Artic Ocean... really. it's just covered with snow, so it looks like just another flat snow field...
Sun rise from the East side of operations. Everyone just leaves their trucks running all the time...
View from STP back towards the West Dock - where apparently, there is lots of activity in the summer months...

Dori,
Great pictures. I have never been to the North Slope but would love to go sometime. Your pictures don't seem fuzzy to me. Kathe
