About Newtok, AK

Living in Newtok, AK, is not for the faint of heart. The town is located in a harsh environment, where temperatures can drop to -40 degrees Celsius in the winter and rise to 30 degrees Celsius in the summer. The town faces many challenges due to its remote location and its proximity to melting permafrost and eroding shorelines.

Despite the cold weather, dwindling population, and environmental concerns, Newtok remains a resilient place with a strong culture that is deeply rooted in traditional Alaska Native values.
