We're back from Barrow..it was even windier and colder today than it was yesterday. I got a glimpse of the Brooks Range through the clouds on the flight back to Fairbanks. Here are pics:

The road to Point Barrow, the northernmost point in the US!

Graves from people who died from the measles in the early 1900s









An ice cellar, how they store meat from hunting and stuff (you have to have one if you're a whaler). This one wasn't used anymore though

The surf was crazy this morning!! Roads were actually getting flooded D:

Loading luggage, Barrow style :P


Tomorrow we go to Denali! I hope the weather gets nicer..
