Utqiagvik, AK

united states

Utqiagvik is America's northernmost city, accessible only by plane since no roads connect it to the rest of Alaska. The airport handles daily flights from Anchorage and Fairbanks. Local gravel roads serve the 4,800 residents but extend just a few miles before hitting tundra. The city experiences 65 days of polar night and two months of midnight sun, operating the northernmost U.S. post office.
