Northern Alaska is a vast and remote region known for its stunning landscapes, including tundra, mountains, and coastlines along the Arctic Ocean. The area experiences extreme weather, with long, harsh winters and short, cool summers. It is home to several indigenous groups, including the Inupiat and Yupik, who have lived in harmony with the land for thousands of years. The economy of Northern Alaska is primarily based on oil and gas extraction, along with subsistence hunting and fishing. Key towns in the region include Barrow (Utqiaġvik), the northernmost city in the United States, and Kotzebue, which serves as a hub for transportation and services.
