Tikiġaq is located above the Arctic Circle in northern Alaska. It is situated on a spit of land which points west into the Chukchi Sea. The sea and inland just north of Cape Lisbourne and south of Cape Thompson provide areas important for subsistence hunting and fishing. 

Tikiġaq is one of the longest continually inhabited regions in North America with a rich archeological record dating back 2,500 years. Tikiġaq relies heavily on sea ice and predictable weather patterns for travel and subsistence hunting of marine mammals in the area. 

Guy Omnik has contributed observations since 2019. In his observations you will find stunning photographs and descriptions of the whaling, hunting, and fishing conditions throughout the year.
