Whittier, Alaska — The Town That Lives in One Building
In Whittier, Alaska, nearly all 200 residents live in a single 14-story building called Begich Towers. Inside, you'll find a grocery store, post office, church, and school — residents can go weeks without stepping outside.
The only way in or out of Whittier is a 2.5-mile single-lane tunnel shared by cars and trains. Miss your slot and you wait 30 minutes. In winter, snowfall reaches 20 feet, and buildings connect through underground passages — almost completely cut off from the outside world.
