I think if the gentleman were to go to the coldest, most barren, desolate, unappealing part of the world, that would be the North Slope. I think because so many people have not been there, there is this assumption that caribou are running wild among mountains and there are streams and waterfalls and everything. This is not an appealing place. I think people need to remember that, that it is not representative of the beautiful State of Alaska at all. This is a cold, barren, desolate place that we would not want to be there.
