Archaeological site in Alaska that casts light on early Yup’ik life ravaged by ex-Typhoon Halong
- On October 12, ex-Typhoon Halong struck Kipnuk and Kwigillingok, displacing about 2,000 people and destroying nearly all homes in Kipnuk, as part of back-to-back storms in western Alaska.
- Scientists have long warned that warming in the North Pacific and Bering Sea can energize storms, while declining sea ice, thawing permafrost, and a Pacific marine heatwave have intensified erosion and storm impacts.
- At Quinhagak the storm devoured shoreline and scattered artifacts, swallowing 60 feet and scattering thousands of Yup'ik pieces with about 1,000 recovered earlier this month.
- Survivors scattered to Bethel, Fairbanks and Anchorage where shelters opened and the Anchorage school district is absorbing at least 130 displaced students while many families lost winter stores and subsistence tools.
- Investments under Biden-era clean energy and infrastructure laws aimed to fund resilience, but the new administration canceled dozens of projects, including a $20 million EPA plan for Kipnuk amid threats to over 30 villages.
