Aerial view of the Deadhorse in Alaska<\/p><\/div>\n

Deadhorse<\/strong> is a small, remote community in the far north of Alaska, which exists primarily as a base for oil workers, and has more recently become a popular tourist spot. Famous for its extreme conditions, Deadhorse has featured in several recent TV shows, one of which showcased the truckers who drive through Dalton Highway \u2013 a dangerous and grueling job over rough terrain and frozen lakes, battling avalanches and whiteouts.<\/p>\n

Visitors come to Deadhorse to experience a unique lifestyle, and to view the arctic wildlife, like grizzly and polar bears, arctic foxes, caribou, arctic squirrels, musk oxen, and hares, and a variety of waterfowl including swans, eagles, geese and gulls. Tour buses take tourists to check out the highway, communities, and the vast, harsh wilderness of Alaska.<\/p>\n

The best way to tour Deadhorse is via tour buses that run from Fairbanks through the James Dalton Highway. It is a two-day tour, and the tourists take an overnight stop in Coldfoot.<\/p>\n

As the town is small, it houses just one expensive general store and two fuel stations. The post office is a part of the general store.<\/p>\n

Caroline Graham, a writer for the Dailymail, UK, online news website describes Deadhorse as a place where there are no women, no trees and no alcohol. A huge red warning sign on the notice board reads that the state has banned alcohol by law and alcohol-related crimes are punishable by a jail sentence of up to five years.<\/p>\n
