'I live in a remote Alaskan town where a loaf of bread costs £7 and temperatures hit -40C' In the remote Alaskan town of Kotzebue, wolves and polar bears roam freely, a loaf of bread costs £7, and temperatures can drop to -40C.
Grant Magdanz, 30, who grew up in the town, describes it as "a fantastic place to grow up" — mainly because kids can learn extensive outdoor skills.
A bouquet of flowers will set you back $89 (£71.09), a gallon of milk is $12 (£9.59), butter is $9 (£7.19), crisps are $11 (£8.79), and a carton of orange juice is $9 (£7.19).
This Arctic Circle town, home to just 3,102 people, is about 500 miles from the nearest city, Anchorage.
80 per cent of the town's population are native Alaskans who have lived there for generations and maintain their traditional lifestyle.
