Point Hope, AK

Point Hope is one of Alaska's most remote Arctic villages, accessible only by plane since no roads connect it to the state highway system. Point Hope Airport handles regular flights from regional hubs like Kotzebue, making it the community's lifeline for people and supplies. Local transportation relies on ATVs in summer and snowmobiles in winter across village roads and traditional trails. This Inupiat community sits on ancient ground with archaeological evidence of continuous habitation spanning over 2,000 years.
