==Overview==
[[Prudhoe Bay]] is a work camp on the Arctic coast of Alaska. It is the furthest north reachable place by road in the western hemisphere and is therefore a popular destination for adventurers. Prudhoe is one of only a handful of places in the world accessible by road that lies within the tundra. It is quite a unique experience. Be aware that there is no public ocean access and you may not go within eight miles of the shoreline without paying for an organized tour. These tours must be organized at least 24 hours in advance.Prudhoe is one of only a handful of places in the world accessible by road that lies within the tundra. It is quite a unique experience.
There are a couple places to buy food here; they are hidden away in unmarked aluminum buildings in the work camps. The selection of food is extremely limited and can be quite pricey, so it is recommended to bring all the food you will need. There are also several unmarked cafeterias which feed at designated times. These seem to be reserved for workers and organized tours.
