Description: Air travel provides the only year-round access, while land transportation provides seasonal access. The North Slope Borough owns and operates the Edward Burnell Sr. Memorial Airport, which has a gravel runway. 'Cat-trains' are sometimes used to transport freight overland from Barrow during winter months. Snow machines, ATVs, and boats are used for local transportation.
