It's been two years since Shell Oil attempted to drill for oil in Arctic waters and lost one of its rigs in a high-profile crash outside Kodiak. The wreck of the Kulluk set off a string of investigations, threatening to upend Shell's drilling program.

Journalist McKenzie Funk tells that story in a new eBook, "Of Ice and Men." In this segment, Funk discusses how Shell managed the fallout -- and whether the company will be back to the Arctic any time soon.
