Prudhoe Bay, Alaska Overview

Prudhoe Bay is primarily a "company town," where resources and support services are focused on the largest oil field in North America and its workers. Tourists with the verve to deal with the isolation and inhospitable climate of Prudhoe Bay can certainly boast once-in-a-lifetime experiences - like the phenomenon of midnight sun or polar night - when they get home. Visit the area's oil fields on an excursion with Alaska Tours, then stay the night at the Prudhoe Bay Hotel.

Note: Tourists traveling to Prudhoe Bay are advised to work with an experienced tour company.
