Alaska’s northern reaches encompass vast protected wildernesses from Gates of the Arctic National Park to Kobuk Valley National Park and Noatak National Preserve to Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and the Arctic Circle. The towering mountains of the Brooks Range and the North Slope give way to pristine snowy landscapes and the inviting Native Athabascan, Inupiaq and Nunamiut Eskimo villages of Barrow, Nome, Anaktuvuk Pass, Bettles, and Fort Yukon.

This month, we dive into the people and lifestyles of the Far North region, sharing with you the culture and traditions which make this part of Alaska truly unique.
