For weeks now I've been trying to visit the University of Alaska Museum of the North, but it's been closed every time; not because the museum has odd hours, but because we can never seem to remember the place is closed on Sunday. I finally made it yesterday, and discovered a museum overflowing with artifacts, materials, and specimens on the cultural and natural history of the Arctic region. In this photo alone you can see the skulls of a bowhead and gray whale, the harpoon that likely killed them, a stuffed polar bear, fossils from a mammoth, and a native kayak. If you ever visit Fairbanks, the Museum of the North should be on your list of sights to see.
