Why do people live in remote Alaska?
Why do people live in remote Alaska? Some people who head for Alaska's wilderness do so out of a sense that they've never belonged anywhere else. And still others relish the challenge of creating their own off-grid lifestyle, one that's as minimally reliant on others as possible.
Do people in Alaska leave their cars running?
Idling is when your car sits parked with the engine running. Some people may do this out of forgetfulness but in Alaska, many do it because it will allow them to get the interior cabin of the car warm or to keep it warm.
Why does every town in Alaska have an airport?
This leads to many towns with no roads leading to them, which are only accessible by airplane (although many coastal villages are also accessible by ship, they nonetheless do not contain any roads accessible by the rest of North America). Because of this, virtually every town in Alaska has an airport.
