Forget the snow, the cold and the wild bears: the toughest things you'll find in Alaska are the people!
In the bitterly cold, extreme landscape of Alaska, there are huge challenges associated with jobs that we often take for granted. From taking out the rubbish to commuting to work, daily tasks for ordinary people take on a new meaning in the face of the unforgiving environment. Now, native Alaskan Geo Beach takes a closer look at the lives of those people who sign up for some of the biggest challenges the frozen north can throw at them: gold miners blasting through rock in sub-zero temperatures searching for new fortunes; heli-loggers that fly to almost inaccessible areas for fresh supplies of timber; and troopers who patrol areas the size of entire states. Even the garbage collectors must face the challenge of doing their rounds before the local black bears can get into the bins!
Take a fresh look at the beautiful, rugged and majestic landscape of Alaska in the company of some of state’s hardest working and often most eccentric residents. To survive and thrive amid the imposing terrain takes a special kind of person. Just like the weather, the conditions and the lifestyle, the people you meet really are Tougher In Alaska!
