Scammon Bay is a remote Yup'ik village on Alaska's Bering Sea coast, home to 440 residents. No roads reach this community - access is by air through Scammon Bay Airport or summer barges. The village sits where the Kun River meets the sea, about 100 miles south of Nome, operating on subsistence fishing and hunting in Alaska's harsh subarctic climate with its distinctive fish camps dotting the shoreline.
