☆ Alaska's once crystal-clear rivers now resemble dirty orange soda, puzzling researchers

The melting permafrostEven before researchers knew about the orange waters, they realized northern Alaska was rapidly changing. The Arctic Inventory and Monitoring Network mapped locations of orange streams, and aerial photos show how easy they are to spot because of their brightness. When scientists went to the orange streams to count fish, insects, algae, and other aquatic life , "biodiversity just crashed," biologist Mike Carey told Scientific American . Advertisement"The fish were totally gone," Koch told BI. The streams Koch monitors near the Brooks Range are fairly remote, but the rivers they feed into provide fish for human communities in this region.

☆ I moved to a tiny Alaskan village and worked as a teacher to 5 students. I was able to save $1,000 a month, see the Northern Lights, and walk on glaciers.

Courtesy of Taryn WilliamsWorking with the families that invited me into different villages has been an incredible experience. When I traveled to the different villages with my students, I was able to learn the cultural customs of each group. I've also been able to travel with my students, which is a uniquely incredible and gratifying experience.

☆ I moved from Atlanta to a tiny Alaskan village of 270 people. It's wildly expensive, but I've never felt more at home.

Instead, I started looking at different possibilities in places I'd never considered before, like Hawaii, Alaska, and Kentucky. The closest I'd come to living in a rural community was a small German town that was a 12-minute train ride from the nearest major city. There aren't as many options for entertainment, but the connections I've made with others are unparalleled to anywhere I've lived before. Most food items are harder to come by, so I've become much more creative and versatile in the kitchen. In Atlanta, I was just another young professional living a life typical of 20-somethings in the big city.
