A gift shop dedicated to Christmas, with all the trappings, including live reindeer and the World's Largest Santa.

Proof to your pals that you made it this far north. Colorful sign for photo op.

Stranded by a storm in 1913, and very slowly weathering away near the ghost town of Solomon.

The record-setting pilot and beloved humorist died in a plane crash nearby.

At the tippy-top of frosty Alaska, an Inuit totem pole on a US Air Force Base. The pole is topped with a toilet bowl, commemorating the first flush toilet in this part of Alaska.
