Point Barrow, on a spit of land nine miles northeast of Barrow is the most northern point in North America - as far north as you can get and keep your feet dry. Whale bones and bones of other animals litter the beach.
Point Barrow was once the village of Nunvuk, perhaps at one point a community of 1000. But the village disapeared over a hundred years ago. Archeologists are now attempting to recovered bodies of the ancient inhabitants, which are now becoming exposed due to the land being washed away.
The only way to get to Point Barrow is my ATV "four wheeler" or other al terrain vehicle, or my snowmobile in the winter.

Looking south while standing on the eastern shore of the state of Maryland at Point Lookout, Maryland. The water is the Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse is the historic Point Lookout Lighthouse, one of the most haunted spots in Maryland.
The Point Cabrillo Lighthouse stands on the Northern California Mendocino Coast.
This lighthouse and its Third Order Fresnel lens have served as an active aid to maritime navigation since its lamp was first lit on June 10, 1909 - 110 years to the day before this picture was taken.
According to the nautical charts, its light flashes six times every minute, and is visible twenty-two miles out to sea.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
Found these photos which give a bit better view of the gear system. The pointer shaft was also modified for the final presentation piece. This was made over a 2 1/2 month period in early 2006.
Point Reyes (about 30 miles from San Francisco) is final frontier of land before the Pacific. It juts out about 15 miles from California coastline and is the windiest place on the Pacific coast. It was the first time, I saw the great Pacific and stood admiring the calm ocean.
Lighthouse at point reyes can be seen in the backdrop.
This is the most westerly point on Skye. Skye or the Isle of Skye, is the largest and most northerly island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate out from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillin hills. Although it has been suggested that the first of these Gaelic names describes a "winged" shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.
The island has been occupied since the mesolithic period and has a colourful history including a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. The events of the 19th century had a devastating impact on the human population, which declined from over 20,000 to around 9,200 in the early 21st century. Nonetheless, in contrast to many other Scottish islands, this represents a 4 per cent increase from the census of 1991. The main industries are tourism, agriculture, fishing and whisky-distilling and the largest settlement is Portree, which is known for its picturesque harbour. Just over 30 per cent of the residents on Skye speak the Scottish Gaelic language.
Skye is part of the Highland Council local government area and is now linked to the mainland by a road bridge. The island is renowned for its spectacular scenery, vibrant culture and heritage, and its abundant wildlife including the Golden Eagle, Red Deer and Atlantic Salmon.
