Two people died in a helicopter crash on the North Slope Wednesday, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The agency was notified of a missing helicopter earlier in the afternoon and found wreckage from a crash roughly 30 miles west of Deadhorse, said Alaska NTSB chief Clint Johnson. Responders with the North Slope Borough Search and Rescue were on the scene Wednesday. The National Transportation Safety Board was planning to launch a team from Anchorage as well, Johnson said.

When bowhead whales pass Utqiagvik on their way north, it's a good time to count them. So ever since April 1, observers have been climbing a perch built on sea ice, right at the edge of an open lead, to count the whales as they swim past. Every 10 years, scientists and local hunters team up to carry out this census of bowhead whales that migrate between Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort seas.

Dashing through prickly spruce trees on his four-wheeler, Oleksii Butenko led his wife and seven children up a trail near Delta Junction in May. The older kids rode their own four-wheelers and dirt bikes, while the little ones held on behind. At a clearing, they turned off their engines and walked up a hill overlooking the braided Tanana River. The kids explored as the parents sat among early spring flowers. The family visits this spot almost every week, for the views and solitude.

The former mayor was accused of misusing tens of thousands of dollars from public funds last year and withholding information from the council. “The way people see it now, it’s just a dictatorship,” Henry Nashookpuk said. “We are here today to take control back of our city.”

The Point Hope City Council voted to remove the city mayor from office, following accusations that the mayor misused public funds and escalating tensions between the mayor and the council over the resulting investigation. https://t.co/JhC9165Lod
