The Department of Interior on January 11 approved oil and gas drilling on about 500,000 acres of land in and around Teshekpuk Lake on AlaskaÔÇÖs North Slope within the National Petroleum Reserve. The area is a critical stop for migratory geese, and caribou use the area for calving and as a migratory path. No surface drilling will be allowed on 486,000 acres; a maximum of 2,100 acres in seven different zones can be permanently disturbed on the surface. The ASTER image was acquired on August 15, 2000, covers an area of 58.7 x 89.9 km, and is centered near 70.4 degrees north latitude, 153 degrees west longitude. The image has been resampled to 30 m to reduce the file size. (information courtesy of Los Angeles Times)
