Barrow, AK

This past weekend, Michael headed up north to the town of Barrow, AK, which is the furthest north point in Alaska. It is a town of about 6,000 people. Barrow is about 100 miles away from Prudhoe Bay which is where the Alaska Pipeline begins. Here is a map so you can check out where things are


And some pictures of Michael from the top of the world:

The bones on either side of the Welcome sign are bowhead whale skulls.

If you look behind Michael in this picture, you will see the Barrow palm tree forest. The "palm" branches are made of whale baleen.

He made it back alive... without getting eaten by any polar bears!
