Trans-Alaska Pipeline

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Trans-Alaska Pipeline

 or Alaska Pipeline

Oil pipeline running 800 mi (1,300 km) north-south across Alaska, U.S. Completed in 1977, it transports crude oil from the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean to an ice-free port at Valdez. To avoid thawing the adjacent permafrost, about half of the line is elevated.
