Nome Arctic Tour
Nome, situated on the Seward Peninsula by the Bering Sea, is rich in colorful Gold Rush history, and is home to the world's longest dog sled race. The Iditarod commemorates the heroic attempts of dog sled teams to deliver serum to Nome during the diphtheria epidemic of 1924. Have your camera ready as you pull into a dog musher's camp, where you'll experience first-hand the difficulty of dog racing. During your visit to Little Creek Mine, you'll be greeted by a gold miner's family and learn about the gold strike of the 1890's. See modern day prospectors looking for the big strike and try your own luck at panning for gold-what you find, you keep. Shoppers and collectors will find exquisite jade, hand-carved ivory and skin sewings here. The Nome Nugget Inn offers comfortable rooms and a friendly restaurant and lounge.

Barrow Arctic Tour
Take flight for "the top of the world." Barrow is the northernmost point on the continent, 330 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and Alaska's largest Eskimo village. Here, knowledge of the environment and animal behavior continues to be essential for day-to-day survival. You'll learn the ceremonies and traditions of the 4,000 year-old native culture as you tour the Inupiat Heritage Center, take part in native dances, and see a demonstration of the traditional blanket toss. Your tour includes a chance to examine the unique flora of the tundra up close, view the Arctic Ocean, and take a walk on the beach as far north as you're ever likely to go.
