A place at the end of the world

At the end of the line is a place that hangs on to the edge of the continent before it falls off into the storm lashed Bering Sea. Here the frontier still cuts a hard line between the ramshackle outpost’s that dot the tundra and the endless wilderness beyond. In the far north, on the top of the world, is a place little known and long forgotten.
