This area has a polar climate. The coldest recorded wind chill here was -102ºF!! During the winter, exposure to the elements can prove lethal.
Like nearly all wild areas in Alaska grizzly bears are a concern. Don't leave any food lying around including waste food containers, and keep an eye out for bears when walking around. Polar bears are present in the costal areas predominantly during August and September but can be found at any time during the year. Polar bears are both extremely dangerous and protected, do not approach or harass the bears and get to building or vehicle. Whenever exiting a building, immediately scan your surroundings for polar bears.
