Teller, AK

united states

Teller is a remote Inupiat village on Alaska's Seward Peninsula, accessible only by plane or boat since no roads reach the community. Located 72 miles northwest of Nome on the Bering Sea coast, this settlement of 255 people serves as a traditional subsistence hunting and fishing base. The village's post office operates on one of the most weather-dependent schedules in America, sometimes going weeks without mail delivery during harsh winter storms.
