Like the Dalton Highway, Deadhorse exists to support oil operations in
Prudhoe Bay. While the official population is 25, the town boasts a
non-permanent population of 2,000-3,000 employees of the various oil
operations. Like Coldfoot and the camp at Mile 60, the facilities for
visitors are the same as those built to house construction workers for the
Trans-Alaska Pipeline. All facilities are simple, prefabricated buildings
which were brought to Deadhorse on barge or via the Dalton. Commodities,
having to be shipped great distances, are expensive.
No direct
access to the Arctic Ocean, 10 miles away, exists from Deadhorse. Special
advanced access/tours via oil field personnel permission requiring photo ID
and right of refusal may visit Prudhoe Bay. Not all tours reach the Bay.
