This story was supported by the Pulitzer Center. It was produced by Grist and co-published with Alaska Public Media. The Tulsequah Glacier meanders down a broad valley in northwest British Columbia, 7 miles from the Alaska border. At the foot of the glacier sits a silty, gray lake, a reservoir of glacial runoff. The lake is vast, deeper than Seattle’s Space Needle is tall. But it didn’t exist a few decades ago, before 2 miles of ice had melted.

On the shore of Unalaska, a remote island in Alaska’s Aleutian chain, a peculiar building stands out from its windswept surroundings: a meticulously designed Victorian-era home with blue siding, white trim, and a red roof. It’s the Bishop’s House at the Holy Ascension of Our Lord Cathedral, one of Alaska’s oldest Russian Orthodox churches. For years the house sat disused. Fierce Bering Sea storms had faded its once-vibrant exterior, and moss crept over its cedar-shingled roof.

For years, plans to develop Alaska’s largest gold prospect appeared to have stalled amid lawsuits and questions about costs. Now, a $1 billion deal could inject new life into the massive Donlin gold project in Western Alaska. That’s the message, at least, from the investors who are doubling down on Donlin, including two prominent East Coast billionaires. They say they’re more motivated to push the project toward production than the global mining giant that just pulled out.
