Broadmoor: Fairbanks International Airport
Broadmoor combines a remote Interior Alaskan setting with the operational scale of Fairbanks International Airport in a way that reflects its position on Fairbanks’s western edge. The airport is the principal commercial airfield for Fairbanks and the wider Interior, with passenger facilities, cargo operations and extensive airside infrastructure spread across the flat Tanana River lowlands. Fairbanks developed after the 1902 gold rush and remains the region’s principal urban centre, serving communities across a vast and sparsely settled territory. The nearby University of Alaska Fairbanks is a major research institution, while the Tanana River, a major tributary of the Yukon, defines the broad lowland landscape south of town.

Built around the homelands of Indigenous peoples and later linked by fur-trade and mining routes, Alaska grew into the largest state in the United States. These coordinates lie in the Interior, where the Tanana River crosses a country of broad lowlands, boreal forest and long winters. Alaska extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean and includes Denali, North America’s highest mountain. Athabascan communities remain central to the living cultural fabric of the interior. The Alaska Railroad reached Fairbanks in 1923, helping connect this remote region with the coast. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Interior Alaska.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
