Nome Discovery Tours

Teller Day Tour

Teller is the only village connected to Nome by road. We leave Nome in the morning and wend our way the 70 miles to Teller. We will pass through some of the most beautiful land on the Seward Peninsula. Impressive vistas and hopefully lots of animals will be available to view. Among the animals we might see: moose, reindeer, fox and of course the beautiful muskox. Birds are always present in the Nome region

We will stop at a beautiful tundra covered glacial moraine overlooking the Bering Sea and perhaps view King Island 40 miles out. Closer to Teller we'll stop for a photo opportunity across from the Gold Run Dredge. A wooden gold mining dredge now quiet for 70 years. It was adjacent to this area that a 41 oz. gold nugget was found by a local miner in 2003.

The village of Teller is located in a spectacular naturally formed harbor where during the whaling boom sailing ships found shelter from notorious Bering Sea storms. Teller is a tiny village with a population of 275 people. Most people live a subsistence life style though there are two small stores. The stores sell basic grocery needs and have some native crafts. My guests will have an opportunity to walk around the village and view life just a few miles below the Arctic Circle.

While in Teller we visit the home of Sarah and Norbert Kakaruk. Sarah and Norbert are Inupiaq Eskimos originally born in Mary's Igloo 60 miles inland from Teller. We will have coffee with them talking about life Teller they have wonderful videos of their camp up river in Mary's Igloo.
We will have our lunch picnic style and return to Nome arriving at the client's accommodations about 5:00 or 5:30 PM.
