Utqiaġvik

Utqiaġvik combines a living Iñupiat cultural tradition with an uncompromising Arctic climate in a way that reflects its position on Alaska’s Chukchi Sea coast. Formerly known as Barrow, it is the northernmost city in the United States, close to Point Barrow, Alaska’s northernmost headland. Polar night shapes the winter months, while the summer brings weeks of continuous daylight. Subsistence bowhead whaling remains central to local life, and the Iñupiat Heritage Center introduces the knowledge, arts and traditions of the region’s Indigenous people.
