Description: Savoonga's isolated location with no seaport and iced-in conditions during the winter means a dependence on air transport. There is a state-owned gravel airstrip where regular air service is available from Nome and Unalakleet. There is no dock, and supplies are lightered from Nome or off-loaded on the beach.
