Excerpt from Geology of the Nome and Grand Central Quadrangles: AlaskaBering Sea is the chief avenue of communication with the outside world, but is closed to navigation for nearly seven months of the year. During this season no supplies are received at Nome, although mail is brought in over the winter trail from Valdez. Nome, the principal mining center of Seward Peninsula and the second largest town in Alaska, is about statute miles from Seattle by direct water route. It is the distributing point of supplies for almost the entire peninsula, as nearly all freight not destined for Nome itself is here transferred to smaller vessels or unloaded for overland ship ment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
