SEEKING ALASKAS "BLACK GOLD" BEHIND A WALL OF ICE: US OIL STATION IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Hundreds of miles within the Arctic circle, where temperatures of 50 below are common and the ground remains frozen the whole year round, a battalion of the US Navy "Seabees" are drilling for oil. they set up their station in August 1944 at Point Barrow, the northernmost US soil on the continent, behind the massive frozen wall formed by the millions of tons of ice thrown along the whole Arctic coastline. Here the men live and work in "Quonset" huts, and they are provisioned by plane from Fairbanks, in the middle of Alaska. The heavy drilling equipment is hauled to the locations indicated by the geologists by tractors fitted with radio and snow ploughs. Within a year, the crew working at Fort Umiat had "shows" of oil, and they expect to strike "pay dirt" by Autumn 1946.
Photo shows: A Norseman , sturdy little Canadian made aeroplane, widley used by the "Search and Rescue" Unit, Alaskan Division, air Transport Command, flying over beached icebergs on the edge of the Arctic Ocean. Planes of this type carry supplies to isolated post and stations, and go to the rescue of flyers in distress.

SEEKING ALASKAS "BLACK GOLD" BEHIND A WALL OF ICE: US OIL STATION IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Hundreds of miles within the Arctic circle, where temperatures of 50 below are common and the ground remains frozen the whole year round, a battalion of the US Navy "Seabees" is prospecting for oil.
From the windows of their quonset huts facing the Arctic Ocean near Point Barrow, northernmost United states soil on that continent, they look out on a frozen vista where the Polar ice pack, crushing in from the ocean. has thrown millions of tons of ice on the beach to make a frozen wall along the whole Arctic coast.
In August 1944 two ships brought the Seabees to Point Barrow. The native Eskimos shook their heads "By Christmas" they predicted, "big Seabees bury little Seabees". Then Eskimost bury big Seebees". Their melancholy forecast did not materialise, however, and within sixty days the Seabees had established their station, with quonset huts for barracks and offices, and completed their airfield. Planes were flying them supplies from Fairbanks, and they even had fresh milk daily. By the end of the winter the heavy drilling equipment had been hauled to the locations decided upon by the geologists, and camps had been set up for the drilling crews. By September 1945, the crew at Uniat had "shows" of oil, working at 1800 feet. They do not exprect to strike "pay dirt" until the Autumn of 1946, when they hope to be working at 4,000 feet.
When drilling is completed, it is planned to cap all wells for future use. Only in the case of natinoal emergency will the US Navy's Alaska properties be brought to full development.
Photo shows: An Arctic Ocean Express train, a string of "wanigans" (sheds on sledges) drawn by a radio equipped tractor with a snow plough in front, carries office, cook shack, bunk house and tool shop to wherever the men are working. This one was photographed on the ice of the Arctic Ocean, fifteen miles out of Point Barrow.
