Nome

On Alaska’s remote western coast, Nome feels like the edge of the map. Beyond its gravel roads lies tundra dotted with musk oxen, reindeer, and seasonal wildflowers. In summer, tens of thousands of seabirds nest along the shoreline, while polar bears and walruses roam the ice edge offshore. It’s a place where Arctic and sub-Arctic worlds collide, shaped by extremes of light, weather, and migration.
