Hi Austin!
The pipeline is called the Trans-Alaska pipeline. However, despite the stilts meant to stop the permafrost melting, the pipeline has radiators positioned along it to stop the oil inside from freezing. The stilts also protect the pipeline in event of earthquakes.
Hope this helps!

The pipeline is the Trans Alaskan pipeline. Although insulated and on stilts it has radiators at regular intervals along it, to maintain the warmth of the crude oil to keep it flowing. It is also on silts to allow migrating Caribou to travel North during summer months and also to allow the pipeline to move during earth tremors, as Alaska is in an area prone to earthquakes.
