It took awhile, but I finally got this cute penguin to the Arctic Ocean. I drove it to Pt. McIntyre for views of the still frozen ocean and Northstar (a manmade oil development island). We also stopped by the Prudhoe Bay Monument near the Trans Alaska Pipeline System’s Pump Station 1, the first pump station of a series that moves crude oil from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez for loading onto southbound tankers.. We looked for polar bears, but settled for a red fox. Even though it’s late April, it still feels like winter up here. Today it was +5° F with wind chill of -10° F. It was fun taking the whale to three of the world's oceans and I'll now turn it loose to swim freely to warmer waters. Thanks for sharing the coin.
