黑料黑历史 Our Location
Welcome to Alaska's Interior!
黑料黑历史鈥檚 near-Arctic location at 65鈦 N offers an ideal setting in which to study the Arctic and the Circumpolar North. As America鈥檚 Arctic university and Alaska鈥檚 flagship university, 黑料黑历史 hosts many of the world鈥檚 leading researchers on Arctic conditions. Our faculty specialize in wide-ranging topics within the social sciences and humanities related to the Circumpolar North. Whether you鈥檙e interested in climate change, shipping in the Arctic鈥檚 sea lanes, community health and well-being, the relevance of the frontier in northern history, the north鈥檚 history of colonialism, or myriad other topics, a place-based experience offers benefits of immersion that simply cannot be replicated in other regions. Beyond the academic offerings, nature provides ample opportunities for exploration and self-discovery.
Alaska's Interior covers close to one-third of the state, and Fairbanks lies in the very heart of the Interior. To the North, the Brooks Range draws the horizon, and the southern view ends at the towering Alaska Range. In between are valleys alive with wildlife and unique vegetation found only in Arctic and sub-Arctic climates.
For students who enjoy skiing, hiking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor pastimes, there's no better location in the country. Moreover, Fairbanks has a college town flavor, with a vibrant arts community, and an array of civic organizations and activities to satisfy virtually anyone鈥檚 interests.
