BARROW POINT

It is the northernmost point of the American continent, nearly 2,000 km from the North Pole. The end of the world. It is symbolic to come here to touch the end with the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole in front of us. It is a crossing point for whale migration. The place is also an important archaeological site of members of the Thule culture, the ancestors of the present Inupiat Inuit who lived there a thousand years before the arrival of the first white people. Numerous burials and artifacts have been discovered there.
