Utqiaġvik, formerly known as Barrow, is the northernmost town in the United States, located on the Arctic Ocean in the state of Alaska. The land of the first nations, it is one of the few places where you can see and experience the unique culture and way of life of the Inupiat people, who have lived in the region for thousands of years. In addition to its historical significance, Utqiaġvik is also a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for activities such as whale watching, birdwatching, and dog sledding. Mind you, in most of the seasons you'll be doing ice watching more than anything else!
The area is home to some of the most spectacular and remote wilderness in the country, making it a great destination for those looking to get away from it all and experience the natural beauty of the Arctic. Some people may find the isolation, harsh weather, and rugged terrain of the region to be exciting and thrilling, while others may find it to be overwhelming or challenging. If you enjoy being in nature, experiencing new cultures, and are willing to brave the colder weather and isolated location, then you may find that Utqiaġvik is a rewarding destination. I certainly did and hope my video will be able to convey that. Thanks for watching!

I hear this sort of a comment about Utqiagvik sometimes and wonder what's in the perception that paints it so bad? That land has a different way of life, pace, organization of physical goods, logistics and more. Also there's the native way of life. You don't see that often in a regular lower 48 American town. But it is admirable how people live there and the choices they are making every day.

I went there 9/8/2023. 35F no snow but it was freezing at night. Stayed in King Eider one night but heard someone playing tennis outside of the hotel but when i look outside there wasnt anybody. I wanted to talk to front desk but they are closed after 10pm wow they didnt tell me its a haunted hotel, anyway Barrow has lots of muddy road, info window at police dept close all weekend. Lots of warehouse at the other end, most houses are bungalow. The asian restaurant was very good without nice family work there serving me food. The airport was Alaska airlines transit hub close everyday at 6pm. Seen lots of seafood vendors who are native alaskan buying seafood and taking with them to the airplane. Anyway i left to Anchorage to challenge the Chugach mountain despite seeing the most scariest Arctic ocean in my life.

Thank you for this video about a place very few people will see for real. The first comment about it being depressing was my first thought, but watching to the end, the people who live here and similar places are a very special breed who just get on with a daily routine. I would imagine on a beautiful day with much less snow the place would be transformed. One thing I did notice was the amount of scrap cars and other debris. The local authority should be responsible for the cleanliness of the area and if they can get cars in, then a scrapping and recycling plant to crush damaged vehicles and “exporting” of scrap for cash would provide employment and make the place look as if it has pride in itself. At 75 I am very unlikely to ever see the area, but there are many worse places to live in , even in America I would guess. Good luck to the inhabitants.
@ricka.a.
@ricka.a. 8 месяцев назад
Because of it's remoteness. New car parts are hard to come by. Broken down vehicles are slowly stripped of their good parts as needed. A lot of the metal itself is reused eventually. Trying to haul away scrap metal would be nothing but financial losses. The metal would never pay for the shipping costs. These are people who want nothing to do with home owners associations. Yes. It would be nice to have storage buildings for all the parts vehicles, instead of just sitting outside. They can't afford it. Just keep your opinion to yourself. They don't care what you want. Because they want to live as far away as possible, from people who want to dictate how they should live. These people value their freedom. Even if it means living in a harsh environment.

Why does this place look so miserable? Compare it to say Svalbard in Norway which is much farther north and Svalbard is beautiful, looks like it's out of a fairy tale. This place looks sad, cold and miserable. Every house looks like it was tossed together with no pride in craftsmanship and on the verge of collapse. Every car looks trashed. I'm not trying to be a troll but why is it like that?
8 месяцев назад
Thank you for such a great question. Each people constructs according to their cultural tradition. Svalbard inherits the Scandinavian traditional and Russian Arctic construction principles, while Utqiagvik hails to Arctic nomads of Northern Siberia and American Arctic. This is way deeper than on the surface, it goes into archetypical concepts of organizing the space.
@NmpK24
@NmpK24 7 месяцев назад
Those buildings are sinking due to building on permafrost and the extreme weather. And Svalbard is a different situation. Firstly, access by sea is pretty much all year round and its important for Norway to keep a strategic presence in the region. Unlike Utqiagvik it has no indigenous people and its population is limited to a few thousand, mostly in Longyearbyen. There are also strict environmental laws and rules when living there such as the deceased cannot be buried and pregnant women cannot give birth on the island. Though its a duty free zone, the cost of living is also expensive, but then the mainland Norway is too compared to rest of Europe. Lot of money comes in to Svalbard through tourism and research grants, meaning local investment and jobs.

I often think how cool it would be to live in polar Alaska. Then I remember the six weeks I was there for training with the Army, where a tiny mistake such as forgetting your gloves or mittens can be a life threatening situation. Many changes at -50 F. I loved it when I was up there, but I can see where it would get extremely depressing and boring, holed up in a tent, a cabin, or even a 4 star hotel, where there is no real day to speak of.
