I've lived in Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, Alaska my entire life, but I've never been to Barrow (it is now called Utquiavik. I went to Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay in January, which is close, and I did it because I wanted to see a real Arctic winter and Deadhorse is usually about 10-15 degrees colder. I'm not quite sure why though. When I was there, at one point it was -36F with a windchill of -67F.

Thats the coolest place u can go for a vacation. save up hundreds of thousands of dollars and go there once a decade if u wish, with ur family, friends. It would definitely be a place u wouldnt forget. BTW go only if u can withstand the temperatures that is.

Math is horribly incorrect in the beginning of the video. 738, 000 is roughly 0. 5% of 142 million. This is 100x more than what is stated in the video. If the population were actually 0. 005% of that number then it would be about 7000 people.

When you want us to think something is close you say a mere 2, 000 kilometers. When you want us to think its far you say - a whopping 2, 000 kilometers- well those are the same distance. and it's still very far.

If I am going to visit someplace so remote, I would rather it be some place that had beautiful scenery and an exotic culture. Barrow just looks depressing. And cold. Southern Alaska is a much better choice.

In theory, if you were to take a vacation there, what would be fun to do? Any state parks? Museums, or interesting buildings? Or is vacationing there a silly idea

Could you please not use those pointless units?
Living in the 21st century people should be able to use proper metric units and not some empirical nonsense.

Point Barrow is the northernmost point of the mainland US but not all of North America. There is a Canadian promitory 40 miles more northerly.

This was very informative. I didn't know people lived in places like that. High prices, very little supply, and such a cold, cold place.

Nice video. But, if you're aiming for s more global audience, maybe give the temperature in units that the rest of the world uses.

For the record, the sale of alcohol is prohibited in Barrow. Overall, this town is extremely boring. Avoid at all costs.

Probably should have touched on why the town exists. How do the people make money? Why are they there?
