One wonders what future Utqiagvik has.
Wait for the Fall storms, especially if there is a late freeze-up.

“The ongoing reduction in seasonal ice cover in the Arctic Ocean may cause enhanced wave activity along the northern Alaskan coast, contributing to rapid coastal erosion and local flooding issues.”

On Google Earth, most of the town appears to be < 7m above sea level.  But I hear that the Dutch are starting to hire themselves out as expert consultants.

Warm enough to wear shorts right now.

If I call you out but go no further, the reason is Brandolini's law.
