Welcome to Kaktovik


There are many cool things about Kaktovik.  

We have like hundreds of polar bears.  I have seen up to ten polar bears in one day.

One of the kids in my class is a son of one of the whaling captains.  I bet students in the lower 48 don't have somebody like that in their class or get to stand on a whale.

We also have lemmings.  I can see five or more in one day. Would you like to live in a place like this?  I would.  I mean I love to live in this place.  

I would love to be a scientist in Kaktovik, a place where they hunt whales.  Kids like me can get blood samples for the scientists.  We even get to hold the eyeball from the bowhead whale.
