Saint Matthew Island may also be on the itinerary, with its abandoned buildings nestled between black-sand beaches and tundra dotted with wildflowers. You might even spot the rare white sparrows, which breed and nest exclusively on this island.
Scan the waters and skies for puffins, guillemots, and razorbills, especially close to the coast. With a little luck, you might spot the foggy gull, found only in this part of the world.

Bering Sea Nome Seattle
Discover Nome’s Golden Age
