"Filipinos have been in Alaska for 236 years... We are the state’s largest immigrant minority, but there are few records for us to learn from. It’s an uphill battle, trying to share our community’s stories the way we feel is right."

Before there was the UAF low temperature photo ops, there was Denali State Bank photo ops downtown. From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner January 29, 1989. -44C = -48F. #Alaska #Fairbank #History @ANC_Historian @CarrieinFbx @anisian

@AlaskaWx @ANC_Historian @CarrieinFbx @anisian @ai6yr Yikes. According to NOAA only 10min till frostbite (BTW -44C/-47F off the chart), if there was any wind probably drops to 5min.

Guilty pleasure: not native to Interior Alaska, but I love the smell of the chokecherry trees this time of year.

@AlaskaWx Meeee too. I was planning to plant some at my house until I found out they weren’t native. sigh

AK_OK,

Good news: Samples taken from people living in the Arctic show lower levels of regulated pollution.

Bad news: The samples showed rising levels of unregulated chemicals.

Why are some rivers in Alaska turning orange?

CNN reports on a new study about thawing permafrost in the journal Communications: Earth & Environment.

Jagged peaks tower over the steep Gabriel Icefall on the Gulkana Glacier in the Eastern Alaska Range in mid-August.

An aurora corona above the trees in late August. We have a little under three months before it gets dark enough again to see the aurora in Fairbanks, Alaska. I haven't seen much aurora while the leaves are still on the trees.
