Alaska Bush, Nome, Barrow and the Arctic

Some of the Arctic settlements and native Alaskan villages in this rural region can be reached only by plane. These areas are self-sustaining, not receiving any food or supplies from the "outside world." The visitor can appreciate the grand scale of nature in little-known National Parks and week-long float trips. The only roads are in the Nome area and the Dalton Highway to Barrow.
