Lake Colleen is the "big lake". The shot at 4:25 is looking across part of Lake Colleen to the Aurora Hotel. For the record Barrow is "that way" but you can't drive to Barrow or to Barter Island, and you can only drive to Nuiqsut in the winter when Conoco Phillips builds an ice road to Alpine oil field, and then, only if you're a Nuiqsut resident.
I started up there in 1980. Except for 6 years at a pump station I worked up there about 20 years.it was colder at the pump station I was at, but the wind was not as bad My last stint there was 2006-2013.
@@JaysWorldTravels I have heard polar beats like dumpsters too. I lived in the Fairbanks area. I have been outside for hours on end at -37 to-40. While your face can be bare at that cold. Your hands cannot. The skin on your face and even your eyes thickens at those temperatures. My nose is bigger from living there.
Yes, it is not unusual to have both Polar Bears and Brown bears in Deadhorse. I've been up there when they had "bears sighted around building" posted on all the doors of the residence. Most of the buildings are elevated on pilings, so often the bears will hang out underneath the building.

Thanks for sharing.
When I was there working at the Arco Alaska facility in '85 it got down to -97 F with the wind chill.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
That's ungodly cold.
Wow! You are brave going there in early March. If I went, I think would wait until late July. I am chicken.
You can’t be a chicken to see interesting things. I had spring break, so I was off for a week.
Minus nine is not that cold. Would there yet be grizzly bears out? They do wander into Deadhorse for the dumpsters.
They have polar bears in Deadhorse.
