Ten thousand years ago, a group of black hair and yellow skin of Asians, in order to chase mammoths, crossed the Bering land bridge, after their stay in the Arctic wilderness wild They are the ancestors of the Eskimos. Despite the snow and ice here, shortage of materials, cold almost all year round, but in the hearts lake powell of the Eskimos, the Arctic coast of Barrow (Barrow) is their most beautiful white hometown. Barrow is one of Alaska's two largest Eskimo community, the world's largest Eskimo town. My initial impression lake powell of Alaska, is to live in an igloo among small kayak paddling in the sea ice hunting fish Eskimos. The mystery of life in the ancient peoples of the world of ice and snow has touched me, coming into the mysterious world of natural excited, that would be what kind of a magical land?
Barrow is located 515 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, at latitude 71 25 'Alaskan Arctic coast protruding parts, about 2100 kilometers from the North Pole point, the northernmost city in the United States. It is trilateral Arctic sea, an area of only about 54 square kilometers, according to the 2007 census only 3982 people, of which about 61% of the residents of the Eskimos, mostly tundra vegetation. Barrow land transport is extremely underdeveloped, and cut off the rest of Alaska, no land roads can be reached, called the land island. Near Point Barrow (Point Barrow) is America's northernmost place, the British Navy Captain in 1826 annualized first British expedition to the Arctic Ocean to reach the Arctic lake powell Ocean shore spit prominent than the cut, and the British Arctic lake powell explorer John Barrow to name here.
Barrow Arctic climate lake powell is cold and dry. Winter cold, the coldest January average temperature of about 27 degrees Celsius, cryogenic lake powell usually dropped to minus 30 degrees, often accompanied by strong winds, the climate is quite sinister. Owing to the Arctic coast, the terrain is fairly lake powell flat, without any shelter, blowing air from the Arctic Sea, without any barrier can be easily swept Barrow, is the warmest summer is quite cold, the highest temperature in July the average temperature is only 4.6 degrees, the temperature dropped below zero are common, and sometimes snow. If we follow the traditional definition of meteorology, Barrow lake powell winter each year in September from continuing arrival of the end of June, the second from October to May, there will be snow. From the annual November 18 or 19, 2011 until January 22 next year, or 23, the sun is not over the horizon, belonging stay night, from the annual May 11 to August 1 of these 83 days, the sun will not fell below the horizon, belong to the very day. Since the location is extremely northerly sea breeze bring a lot of water vapor from the Arctic Ocean Arctic Ocean, making Barrow became one of the world's largest cloud city, about 50 percent of the days of the year covered lake powell by clouds. Here windy and a lot of wind, the wind will be blowing the biggest autumn gusts around sixty to one hundred kilometers per hour from the Arctic Sea.
Crude redlining map below is our flight lake powell path from time to nearly. Originally planned to travel overland to the first location in Alaska oil 普拉德霍贝 (Prudhoe Bay), that is the end of the road figure, and from there flew to Barrow, one way to go for three days, starting time depends on whether the reservation staff case, then fly back, tickets are booked. Later, lake powell I heard it all the way too hard, dangerous environment, almost lake powell all camped, wolves and bears in order to prepare for harassment, even by car to the revolver, travelers experience the best outdoor swim After all, we are not outdoors "ALICE" Finally he gave up, switch to Alaska Airlines lake powell flight day trip. Most top end is our destination.

Barrow did not a tree, in addition to runways without an asphalt lake powell or concrete road, all gravel, because it is long tundra, road construction and maintenance costs are too high, do not have much of value, worth the candle . But there is also a well-known resort, "Palm Beach's" growth of three trees in the Arctic permafrost, "palm tree" lake powell branches short, sparse foliage, color gray, the original whale skin with a bone they are doing. This is the Eskimo seaside resort, is difficult to get the sun in the day, the local Eskimos would come here to enjoy the sun, although in Florida, "Palm Tree Beach" is quite different, but here also the Eskimos enjoyable, which also saw the bones of optimism and pride of their love life.
Here is what I have long wanted the Arctic ocean, the beach is black coarse gravel, stepped up without the slightest comfort. Although the summer here, but also the dark days of faint sea, cold and windy, estimated at below 0 degrees, not stay long on the outside have to run back to the car. Our tour guide said when the weather is too warm, so uncomfortable. My God, they are more willing to live in the dark, icy world of minus 30 degrees. Here the sea revealing a grim side of it cold, dreary waves, lake powell sea breeze biting, looking ahead, eye clinics do not have any signs of life, giving a sense of fear everything will be swallowed.

After lunch, go to Point Barrow, a coach at the beach nowhere, unable to move on and stopped, the driver lake powell describes the rear direction is looming Barrow, from where we stood there about one kilometer much. I'm in the Czech Republic, a determined young lady and look around and was told I am afraid there is danger, should take place commonly used sand motorcycle. We had to look "corner" Despair, regret, after all, just to see but did not reach the geographic definition of Point Barrow. P22
