Temperatures in Alaska are rising ten times faster than in the rest of the world, causing roads to crack and foundations to crumble as the ancient permafrost layer melts beneath them. At the same time, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge finds itself at the center of a heated debate: should oil and natural gas deposits along the refuge's coast be opened to development? Native Alaskans are divided: the Inupiat Eskimos want the jobs and the money that drilling would bring, but the Gwich'in Indians fear it will destroy their caribou. Alaska is rich in oil, but for every barrel shipped south, damage is done to the delicate balance of Arctic life.
