Michael Visits Alaska ► bit.ly/1EEkiB0
Vsauce2's Short Film ► bit.ly/1S5ZOay
Alaska is a place filled with beautiful views, and harsh and unreachable places. But Whittier, Alaska, may take the cake. The only way to reach this small city by land is a long, claustrophobic drive through a mountain. Michael Stevens, the creator of Vsauce, takes his incredible thirst for knowledge to Alaska to find out why this city chooses to make this remote location their home… and why they all live in a single building.
Field Day is a place to meet and see the platform’s most inspired filmmakers, dynamic entertainers, and exciting personalities. Each week, one of these inspired creators tries something new and creates their own unique, imaginative, dream video. Whether they’re investigating far-off places, dancing with remote control cars, or stunt flying with Star Fox, you won’t want to miss these creators #HaveAFieldDay

Climbed to the top of the mountain ridge there till the cruise ship in port looked tiny. Didn't see a single person the entire time up, pure beautiful magic.

Andy Jones I believe it pointed out that the people run their own businesses out of the building. To me it kind of seems like a city confined to a single building. It would be a really cool experience.
@andyjones7121 9 жыл бұрын
Combustible Lemon seems opposite of "a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there". Probably not much to do visiting but I'll bet the residents all know each other, almost 0 crime, and a great sense of community. It seems like the kind of place where you don't ever lock your door. Heck, I wonder if they even have police!
@combustiblelemon882 9 жыл бұрын
I think it said they had police, but I imagine they don't have much to do seeing as how everyone probably knows each other. I kinda wanna live there. It's a place where you can live life the way you see fit.

Andy Jones There is a clinic in the same building where everyone lives. Yes there is a police force and a school, electricity, city water and sewer. It isn't the end of the earth (but sometimes it feels that way). It is only an hour and a half from Anchorage. And....few people actually work there, and those that do work for the government, the city of Whittier or in tourism during the summer. The tourist industry is very lucrative during the summer months (there are quite a few cruise boats that embark from Whittier for Glacier tours). But, the winter and the winds are pretty unforgiving. The worst night in my life was in November, spent on the 15th floor of the Begich Tower, with 80+mph howling winds gusting to 125mph. Yipes...and BRRRR!

I was in Switzerland recently up in the Alps and found this quaint little village nested in a valley by a lake with spectacular views and they built a massive in-door rifle range but not where you would think, they put it in the wall of a few billion tons of granite overlooking the town. Why? Because they can!! They didn't have the excuse that drove the establishment of Whittier, they just didn't seem to be able to agree so they put a 300m and 150m rifle/pistol range and a shooting cinema as they call it. They might not have moved as much rock as Whittier but they did it for far less reason :-) People are just amazing

So... Where was Whittier in all these zombie movies?... like, "We should go to whittier!" should be in all zombie movies.

+Solitude There was a (not brilliant grammatically) series about the zombie apocalypse breaking out in Alaska, and this was their plan. It would work well in almost any scenario except a World-War-Z type one, where there's a possible threat from the ocean. We'd also need to worry about the possibility of zombies managing to arrive overland, and how to get a large part of our food. Still, we've got our fudge squared away! (disclaimer: not from Whittier, I'm from Anchorage AK)

Hope NineOneFive There should be glass cases with traveling equipment and a map that leads to whittier with sign saying "Break glass in case of Zombie Apocalypse"

Me and my wife live in Wasilla, AK, and we in the valley or in Anchorage often have to go down to Whittier to get on a Ferry if we want to go to Juneau, Sitka, etc. The scenic highway is beautiful!

I live in AK... and close to wittier. There are truly isolated places in AK, and wittier is not one of them. Think of it as more of a gated community, just outside of the most populated place in Alaska. Its cool and all, but in and out is easy and walmart and any modern amenity is just a short skip away in the big city. Its easy as just driving through the tunnel. In a state of wild inaccessible places...... wittier is an easy, paved accessible town, a nice hour ride from the largest population in the state.... all these KZfaq vids make it seem like its at the end of the world. For us.... its a great place to drive down and launch your boat from..... far from "isolated"..... you just start your car and drive there.

Yeah I live in Anchorage and it's not exactly isolated, Nome is isolated, Diomede is extremely isolated, oh and our other city Seattle 🤣

i know this comment is old but id like to say that comparing to living in a densely packed place in east asia, it certainly seems intimidating and isolated for me :o

Are tunnels so rare in the US? As a Swiss, they are as common to me as cellphones are. Sure, they're quite a technological achievement, but so are cellphones. And both are quite widespread here. Still, I'd admit the 17km long Gotthard tunnel is quite impressive.

joelproko I guess it's common for you because your country has lots of mountains. I bet Norway or other countries maybe have them too. But for the rest of the world it's pretty uncommon and very cool.

Great video Michael (and of course Field Day)! I've got my bets that your next video is going to be about the concept of a home.

So at night they close the doors, just for security. But.. security from what? That's a bit creepy O.o Anyway, it's really wonderful how people stay there because that's their home. They could leave any time so why stay? This is something I could never understand. I'm pretty envy of them but I'm happy at the same time
