Overview

Embark on the ultimate northern adventure with our Arctic Circle Day Tour from Fairbanks.

What To Expect

Alyeska Pipeline Viewing Point

Here you will find informational displays about the pipeline and an example of a pig, the device used to clean and inspect the inside of the pipeline.It took 70,000 construction workers and $8 billion of investment capital to build the famous 4-foot silver thread that snakes its way through 800 miles of Alaskan wilderness to reach the nation's thirsty refineries, crossing mountain ranges, earthquake zones, permafrost, and rivers. Some 420 miles of the pipeline are elevated (with 554 animal crossings), and outside Fairbanks is the place to see it. As you watch, consider this: Every hour, more than a million dollars of black gold flows through it.
