On January 1, 2013, Shell's Kulluk drilling platform ran aground on Sitkalidak Island, Alaska, amidst 40 mph winds and 20-foot seas. A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew overflew the scene, captured in a U.S. Coast Guard video by Petty Officer 1st Class Sara Francis.
This incident highlighted ongoing concerns about Arctic drilling. For further insight, read the Ocean Doctor blog post, "Lessons of BP Deepwater Horizon: Unlearned and Now Unleashed in Alaska."
