Barrow
Living in
Barrow, Alaska
I'm John, from Barrow in Alaska, which is the most northern town in
the USA. So what's it like living here? Well, in November, the sun goes down and it
doesn't come up again until January. That means it's dark for 65 days. Of course, these
are the coldest months of the year, even the highest temperature is below zero! It's also
the most boring time of the year, we can't go out without our parents because it's too
dark. Summer is better. In May, the sun stays up so there's no night for 85 days.
Why don't we move somewhere warmer?
We love living here. I know everyone in
the town, I love the school and we've got
some amazing traditions and festivals. The
best is Nalukataq in the spring when the
fishermen return to our town with whale
meat. Then, we make a special blanket.
It's huge. A dancer stands in the middle of
the blanket and we throw him or her into
the air. When the dancer is in the air, they
throw sweets to the children. It's fantastic -
you should come and join us next year!
FACT! The coldest inhabited
place on Earth is Oymyakon
in North East Russia. On 6
February 1933, it was 67.7 °C.
That's freezing!
