Barrow lennujaam on nii koha väiksust arvestades üllatavalt rahvarohke. Barrow airport is surprisingly crowded for such a small place. |

Barrow lennuväli. Taustal ainult tühjus. Barrow airfield. Only nothingness in the background. |

Enamik maju Barrow's on ehitatud postidele, et neid külmast pinnasest eraldada. Maa peale ehitatud majad sulataks pinnase ja vajuks maa sisse. Most buildings in Barrow are elevated to separate them from the frozen ground. If they were built on the ground then they would melt it and sink. |

Barrow's puuduvad asfaltteed. See annab hoonetele ja autodele iseloomuliku halli värvi. There are no paved roads in Barrow. Hence the grey color of buildings and cars. |

Barrow uhkeim restoran... The fanciest restaurant in Barrow... |

...mis seestpoolt küll üsna kena paistab, sarnaselt teistelegi Barrow hoonetele. ...that actually looks pretty nice inside, similar to other buildings in Barrow. |

Barrow lähedal asub uurimisjaam. Vanasti ei ühendanud jaama linnaga ühtki teed, siis veeti inimesi sellise kelk-putkaga tööle. There is a research station near Barrow. There were no roads connecting it with the city when it was built, so this hut-sled was used to bring people to work. |

Barrow eelhoiatusjaam. Pärast külma sõja lõppu jaam suleti ja maha jäeti vaid tsiviiliisikutest koosnev hooldus- ja koristuspersonal. 11. spetembril 2001 panid hooldajad-koristajad aga äkitselt mundrid selga, võtsid relvad kätte ning sulgesid kohalikele elanikele tee jaama juurde. Tõenäoliselt oli küll tegemist nende enda algatusega, sest valitsus ei hakkaks ju ometi rahvale valetama. Barrow Early Warning Station. The station was closed after the end of Cold War and only a civilian cleaning and maintenance crew was left behind. However, on September 11th, 2001, the cleaners and maintainers put on uniforms, wielded rifles and closed the road to the station to local people. But this was probably their own initiative because the government would never lie to us. |

Barrow on peaaegu nagu Havai. Ookean, valged rannad, palmid...?! Barrow is almost like Hawaii. Ocean, white beaches, palm trees...?! |

Hoia jääkaru eest. Inimlik rumalus ulatub paraku ka maailma kaugeimasse nurka. Caution, polar bears. Unfortunately, human stupidity reaches even the farthest corners of the world. |

Kesköine päike. Tegelikult oli oluliselt valgem, aga fotokas kompenseerib taustaheledust vastavalt valgustatusele. Midnight sun. It was actually much brighter outside but the camera compensates the background brightness because of the sun. |

Eskimo vaalapüügipaat. Vaalaluust sõrestik on kaetud kokkuõmmeldud hülgenahaga. Sellisest paadist hüpati 15 meetri pikkusele vaalale selga, torgati teda odaga ja hüpati paati tagasi. Native whaleboat, made of whale bones and seal skins. Eskimos used to jump from this kind of boat onto the back of a 50ft whale, spear it and then jump back to the boat. |
