The main languages spoken in Utqiaġvik are Iñupiatun, which is the Native language of the region, and English.
The money used in Utqiaġvik is the United States Dollar ($), as Alaska is one of the states in the United States of America.
Utqiaġvik has potable water in buildings, but the price of a gallon of water is $5.99. There were smaller bottles in the grocery store, but none of them had a price tag!
The best meal I had this week was Jansson’s Temptation, which is a Swedish potato and anchovies that Tom, our teammate, cooked. Yum!
This week we have been very busy with sampling the air, water and permafrost. When we were not working, we were either eating, going on walks on the beach or simply resting. I haven’t found the time to listen to music lately, which is weird considering how much I love music!
