The amount of oil being pumped through the 800-mile (1,287-kilometer) BP, ExxonMobil and ConoccoPhillips owned Trans-Alaska Pipeline has dropped to around 500,000 barrels a day in 2011 compared to 2 million barrels a day in the eighties, as output from onshore fields fall.Locations:Alaska-Arctic-Arctic Coastal Plain-North America-Prudhoe Bay-United States of AmericaDate:5 Oct, 2011Credit:© Rose Sjölander / 70°Maximum size:4562px X 3042pxRestrictions:Ok for Greenpeace use and for approved external Greenpeace campaign related use.

Shell's proposed offshore drill site is in the path of the bowhead whale's migration route. Many Inupiat hunters are concerned about Shell's lack of spill response capabilities if licenses are granted to drill offshore in the Arctic's Beaufort and Chukchi seasGreenpeace is campaigning for a global sanctuary to be declared around the uninhabited area of the North Pole to save the Arctic from attempts by oil companies to exploit the region’s resources for short term profit.
