Gambell Airport — Gambell, United States

Gambell Airport (GAM) sits on the northwestern tip of St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea, closer to Siberia than to mainland Alaska. It serves the Yupik village of Gambell, a subsistence whaling and walrus-hunting community with no road connection to any other settlement. GAM is the community's only reliable link to the outside world, handling small passenger aircraft that bring in mail, groceries, and medical support, along with occasional flights carrying researchers or visitors interested in the island's archaeological sites and bird life. Weather at this remote location is frequently harsh, with fog and strong winds often disrupting the limited flight schedule that residents rely on for everyday needs.
