Arctic Village Airport — Arctic Village, United States

North of the Arctic Circle, Arctic Village Airport carries the code ARC and serves the remote Gwich'in community of Arctic Village in Alaska's far interior. The field sits 2,092 feet above sea level, and its lone gravel runway provides the community's only reliable year-round connection to the outside world, since no roads reach this part of Alaska. Small bush planes handle passenger travel, mail, and essential supplies for village residents, making ARC a genuine lifeline rather than a convenience. The surrounding landscape lies near the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the airport's one-runway setup reflects both light traffic and the practical limits of building infrastructure in such an isolated northern location.
