## Description

No airport in the United States lies further north: Wiley Post–Will Rogers Memorial Airport (IATA: BRW, ICAO: PABR) serves Utqiagvik — formerly Barrow — on the Arctic Ocean, 500 kilometres beyond the Arctic Circle. With no roads connecting the North Slope's communities, Alaska Airlines carries passengers and freight from Anchorage and Fairbanks, regional operators feed the surrounding villages, and the annual summer sealift across the Beaufort Sea delivers anything too heavy to fly. The polar night lasts about two months, yet cargo schedules hold year-round. The airport's name recalls aviator Wiley Post and humorist Will Rogers, killed in a 1935 crash just a few miles away.
