Deadhorse, Alaska lying on the sunny (in summertime) shores of Prudhoe Bay of the Beaufort Sea (named for the fella after whom the windscale is also named) of the Arctic Ocean, is the northern terminus of the Dalton highway which starts in Fairbanks, AK and crosses the Arctic Circle near Bettles, AK.

Right near Livengood, Alaska, is where the genuine 'Haul Road' starts. Now its named the Dalton. The guys who built the pipeline made this highway just to haul construction materials and supplies. They did the whole 400 + miles from Livengood to Prudhoe Bay in five months. Now, that isn't bad for just a gravel, 30 foot wide on-grade road, but this doesn't quite describe it. The gravel is three to six feet thick, and in some parts had to be laid over plastic insulating foam to protect the frost layer!
Dalton Highway ends at Prudhoe Bay.
