Point Hope, Alaska, is one of the most remote towns in the U.S., a small gravel spit on the northwest coast of Alaska. Getting here from Anchorage requires 2 flights. “I don’t know if people even know that we exist,” said Daisy Sage, the mayor. This isn’t the sort of place you expect to be a hub of the high-tech digital world. But in a surprising side effect of #globalwarming — and of the global economy — one of the fastest internet connections in the U.S. is arriving in Point Hope. It’s part of an ambitious effort by Quintillion, a company based in Anchorage, to take advantage of the melting ice to build a faster digital link between London and Tokyo. High-speed internet cables snake under the world’s oceans, but until recently they mostly bypassed the #Arctic. Swipe left to see 4 photos that @fremson took in Point Hope. She also visited Nome, a town of 4,000 a few hundred miles to the south that offers a glimpse into Point Hope’s future. Nome has had broadband internet service for years. Quintillion’s lines will make the connections faster. But like the changes in Point Hope, the ones in Nome worry some residents — like Austin Ahmasuk, a marine environmentalist who’s pictured in the 6th photo here.
