There are no roads connecting any towns here. Your only option of travel is by plane.

Summer is usually only 1 month. I leave in June and there is still snow and its only about +5. I come back in early August and the temps are about 10 but that declines quickly.
I bet the lack of trees can make for some pretty windy days too. Must get a pretty nasty windchill in the winter.

Thanks for the answers to my questions, I would like to explore the arctic someday, but I want to do it in the summer.

Love the northern lights, but I think the cold and isolation would bum me out. How cool would it be to live in a place with warm magnetic poles? There's got to be a planet that fits the bill somewhere...

The coldest I have experienced here was -60 with the windchill. That is COLD!

Our blizzards last for about 4 days and you can't see 2 feet in front of your face.

Great photos. Thanks for posting them.

What is the average family size up there? There's only a population of 300 but how many families would that be? Given the size of the town and the remoteness I would have thought that the finer things in life (or of life) are very popular, birth control notwithstanding!

(This is coming from someone with four results of 'finer things' so I know what that's all about!)
