Barrow is the northernmost settlement in the USA, the largest Inupiat community in Alaska, and one of the most distinctive places you’ll likely ever visit. Situated 330 miles above the Arctic Circle, it’s a flat, bleak, fogbound place, patrolled by polar bears and locked in almost perpetual winter. It’s also a town of surprising contradictions.
On one hand, Barrow’s wealth is famous: due to the spoils of North Slope petroleum, it boasts facilities, such as its Inupiat Heritage Center, which are totally unexpected in a town this size. On the flipside, it’s an Arctic slum, packed with ramshackle structures wallowing in frozen mud.
