Trip to Umiat, Alaska
Well after years of helping maintain remote weather cams and a weather station at Umiat, Alaska, I’m finally going to make my first visit. With two cameras in place for the last 3 years, and another 1-2 two more planned this coming year, I figured a visit was long past due.
Compared to other places in Alaska, Umiat isn’t really much of a town, more an airstrip, and a fairly well established work camp for the many parties doing oil and gas exploration work on the North Slope. The town in the past has varied from 1-2 people in the winter, to a several dozen in the summer. That is likely to change as exploration is anticipated to pick up in the coming years
Umiat is also fairly notorious for being one of the colder places in a Alaska during the winter.
