## Description

Cabbage, potatoes and barley once grew in the mission gardens of Holy Cross — a small agricultural feat at 62 degrees north, planted by Jesuits after 1886. Holy Cross Airport (IATA: HCR, ICAO: PAHC) now keeps the village of roughly 150 Deg Hit'an and Yup'ik residents supplied. The Yukon's main channel has shifted away from town, leaving barges to navigate a silting slough — which makes the USPS Bypass Mail flights onto the 1.2-kilometre gravel strip the village's real freight lifeline. There is no dedicated cargo handling on site.
