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.
