Two life rafts sit on the beach adjacent to Royal Dutch Shell's conical drilling unit Kulluk, 40 miles southwest of Kodiak City, Alaska, Jan. 3, 2013.
The Kulluk was grounded after efforts by U.S. Coast Guard and tug vessel crews to move the vessel to a safe harbor during a winter storm during a tow from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to Everett, Wash.
