Doesn't sound like Barrow has changed much in the past 18 years. An epic shithole. Snow machines revving through 'town", rehab a way…

Barrow only has a couple of accommodations and they are not cheap, nor is eating anywhere in town. Flights on Alaska Airline out of Fairbank…

I have been wanting to travel to Barrow for sometime now. I agree with section8 though... There is just not much up there, except for…

There's a really bad "mexican" restaurant and sometimes you can see polar bears eating garbage at the dump. HTH. Enjoy your trip!…

In Fairbanks, the sun goes down, technically, for those two hours a day, but it doesn't set completely. You get a sort of twilight starting…

Barrow is really only interesting because it is so far north. Kaktovik (if you want the arctic ocean) or even a community further south…
