I'm not the Pig! The photographer modeling pipeline "pigs". Pigs each are passed through the pipeline periodically to scrape and clean the inside of the pipe -- especially when the fluid being tramsported is waxy. The pig behind me is displayed inside of a sampel section of pipeline. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline winds its way from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean at the far north of Alaska south to Valdez, on the shores of Prince William Sound in southcentral Alaska. This is a "vista point" on the Dalton Highway north of Fairbanks. The pipeline is heated and insulated to keep the waxy North Slope crude from solidifying and plugging it. It is elevated at this point to keep the heated pipeline from melting the permafrost soil.
