The Best Food Town You’ve Never Heard Of in Alaska | Eater

"An otherworldly, snowbound ghost town and abandoned early‑20th‑century copper-mining complex located a few miles from the nearby village, where the copper boom abruptly ended in 1938 and left dramatic ruins at the toe of a glacier; the site’s haunting industrial remnants, alpine setting, and proximity to icefields and peaks make it a powerful historical destination that draws explorers and history enthusiasts." - Jeremy Pataky
