The person who won the 8GB iPod Touch auction I had posted lives in Point Hope, AK prompting me to ask how they ended up living there. Hopefully they’ll reply, because a place that remote is simply fascinating to me. In case you don’t know, Point Hope is a tiny place of 750 – 850 people located here, quite a ways north of the Bering Strait.
Beyond the aforementioned Wikipedia article, here’s another interesting article about Point Hope from the Tikigaq Corporation, and here’s a short story from a missionary about flying in and out of the town.
I guess it’s safe to say that I’ve now shipped iPod Touches for .11% of the residents of Point Hope.
