北极狐,普拉德霍湾,阿拉斯加州

1977年前,在普拉德霍湾拍摄的一张图像中,一只北极狐从大雪覆盖的地面上跳跃而过。那时,油井开始在阿拉斯加的北部地带不断冒出。现在,尽管自从1987年的产油高峰期以来,普拉德霍湾的产量已经下降了75%,但它仍然被认为是北美最大的油田,位列世界第18位。

图片为1971年《国家地理杂志》10月号《石油和冻原是否会混合》而拍摄,但未刊发。



英文注释:
Arctic Fox, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

An Arctic fox lopes over snowy ground in Prudhoe Bay in an image shot before 1977 when oil wells began to sprout up across Alaska's North Slope. Today, Prudhoe Bay is considered the largest oil field in North America and the 18th largest field in the world, though output has fallen by 75 percent since its peak in 1987.
