Elim, AK

Elim is a small city in the Nome Census Area of western Alaska, with fewer than four hundred residents. It is served by the Bering Strait School District, and Elim Airport provides scheduled passenger flights, an important connection in a region where roads do not tie communities together the way they do in most of the country. The town's scale is intimate, but its transportation, school, and regional ties make it a practical community on Alaska's remote western coast.
