Here are a few pictures from my trip to Savoonga. Savoonga was by far my favorite village that I've visited in Alaska so far. The people were really friendly and it was pretty interesting just to walk around. The village itself has about 700 people and is apparently growing. To get there you take a flight from Anchorage to Nome (where the iditarod finishes), and then a little plane from Nome to Savoonga. I didn't see any cars while I was there, just a bunch of snow machines and four wheelers. It is right on the Bering Sea. On a clear day I think you can see Russia.

My word....you can see Russia??? You and Sarah Palin, huh?
Perhaps Sarah Palin has a summer home there, so that she can see Russia from her porch!
That penis bone is quite large...
What is the meaning of an oosick? Why would they kill the babies and not use them for food? I am glad at least you got yourself a birthday present. Poor girl.
They do use the babies...they just burry them to refrigerate for later.
