EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Wien Hotel in Kotzebue, Northwest Alaska, USA. Circa 1950, this image transports us to a bygone era, north of the Arctic Circle, where the Bering Strait separates Asia from America. The wooden buildings of the Wien Hotel, with their large, curved bones, stand proudly against the backdrop of the vast, open tundra. The arrival of the Wien Hotel marked a significant milestone in the history of transportation in this remote region. With the advent of Alaska Airlines, travel to and from Kotzebue became more accessible, connecting the community to the rest of the world. The wooden structures, reminiscent of the traditional Inupiat architecture, were a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people who called this rugged land home. The image captures the essence of a time when life in the Arctic was simpler, yet filled with a sense of adventure and resilience. The wooden buildings, with their warm, inviting interiors, provided shelter and comfort to weary travelers, as they waited for their next flight or embarked on their journey across the vast expanse of the Arctic. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and the spirit of the people who have lived and thrived in this challenging environment. The Wien Hotel in Kotzebue, a symbol of the past, continues to stand as a testament to the enduring human spirit and the indomitable will to explore and conquer the unknown.
