Weathering the bitter cold in remote Alaska

Rural Alaskan resident Salina Alsworth says traveling to her village of Port Alsworth is only possible by small aircraft. Alsworth notes that what is considered normal in Southwest Alaska is viewed as extreme weather in other parts of the world. Those in the community prepare well in advance for winter and get around by foot, four-wheeler, or snow machine depending on the severity of conditions.
