File Description: The town of Barrow is in the far north of Alaska, and these are coastal villages or radar installations to the west and south of Barrow. There will be further additions. Atqasuk PATQ is 55 miles south of Barrow and is unusual in that it is one of the few settlements of the North Slope that is not on the coast. It is, however, on a narrow winding river that reaches the sea to the east of Barrow and seemingly provides fish in abundance. There could well be other good reasons for the village to be where it is, but they are unknown to me. The population is around 250. The airfield is to the south of the village and the runway is 4,900 feet of gravel aligned 06-24, lit, and with PAPI at each end.
