Visiting Utqiaġvik, Alaska—or Barrow, as the village was known until 2016—should be on any adventurer’s bucket list. Bordering the Arctic Ocean in Alaska’s North Slope Borough, the town of more than 4,400 thrives in spite of having more than seven months of subzero temperatures and no roads connecting it to any other city in Alaska. It may well be one of the last true frontier towns in the U.S. Even a glimpse at Utqiaġvik reveals a town like no other in America.
