I took my phone with me as I strolled through the neighborhood after church.
This is the neighborhood park. There are several thoughout Barrow.
Barrow Search and Rescue building. We stopped in to say, "Hi" and learn about the building. We learned that you can get Personal Locator Beacons for free. You take these with you when you leave the city to go fishing or hunting. You activate them when you need help. It was manned by elders that told us all about Barrow.
This is their other building. Its a couple houses down the road.
There's a graveyard behind the Superintendent's house.
Post office
Hotel
The drinking water lagoon is on the left side of the picture. There's a road and berm that keeps the ocean out. Fascinating science there!
arctic cotton aka Eriophorum callitrix
You can buy atvs, gators and lots more here. They also do service on vehicles.

Taken 7/20/2014. The ice goes on down the beach. I'm facing north northeast in the picture.
The gentlemen in the Search and Rescue building said this was the coldest summer that they have had in a long time. They are hoping for a mild winter.
