Deadhorse Alaska

Deadhorse Alaska

Deadhorse is a small, remote community in the far north of Alaska, which exists primarily as a base for oil workers and has more recently become a popular tourist spot. Famous for its extreme conditions, Deadhorse has featured in several recent TV shows, one of which showcased the truckers who drive through Dalton Highway – a dangerous and grueling job over rough terrain and frozen lakes, battling avalanches and whiteouts.
Visitors come to Deadhorse to experience a unique lifestyle and to view the arctic wildlife, like grizzly and polar bears, arctic foxes, caribou, arctic squirrels and hares, and a variety of waterfowl. Tour buses take tourists to check out the highway, communities, and the vast, harsh wilderness of Alaska.
