Shell Base in Wainwright Alaska

Shell's spill response equipment, including this fleet of four small aluminum boats provided by the Ukpeagvik Inupiat Corporation, is stored by a frozen lagoon outside Wainwright.
The Wainwright inlet where it will be accessed is frozen solid, almost a month before the end of open water season. Oil giant Shell plan to bring a pipeline onshore outside the remote coastal community that will feed an estimated $2.4 trillion worth of oil into the existing infrastructure on land. Cleaning up an oil spill in Arctic waters has not been proven possible.

70° North - Arctic Documentation

70° North is a multimedia project documenting the impact of climate change and resources exploration in the Arctic.
Shell's plans to drill offshore in the Alaskan Arctic in 2012 has divided the native communities who now stand at a crossroads between continued benefits from industry generated revenues and protecting the marine environment they have depended on for thousands of years. 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 seas

Greenpeace 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.
