Alaska: On The Road with Greg Benchwick

Lonely Planet Author, Greg Benchwick takes you to the top of the world, Point Barrow – Alaska, US. Experience more than 80 straight days of 24 hours of sunlight where there’s plenty of time to admire the icy white landscapes of the Arctic ocean that have been home to the Inupiat people for thousands of years.

Special note from Greg: “Oops, I called the sealskin boat an ‘upiak’, but actually it’s an ‘umiak’, 24 hours of sunlight can really mess with your head!”
