Location
Nome lies on the southern coast of the Seward Peninsula in the Bering Strait Region. Situated 102 miles south of the Arctic Circle, 161 miles east of Russia and a 75-minute flight from Anchorage
Nome is considered a gateway to much of Alaska’s untamed beauty and wildlife.
Additionally, Nome is the originating point for three major state roads: Teller Highway, Council Road and Kougarok Road. These 250 miles of road were originally constructed to provide access to villages, subsistence resources and mines.
However, their popularity in recent years has grown due to the recreational freedom they provide for tourists. Nome is inaccessible by any outside roads but does receive daily jet service from Anchorage.
