Photograph
Miner's home in winter quarters, Nome, circa 1905
Order an ImageWinters were long and dark in Nome. Strong winds blew off the Bering Sea, and snowfalls sometimes buried small dwellings. Residents might be isolated in their homes for weeks at a time.
This photo of a miner's dwelling nearly covered with snow was taken during the winter of 1905-06 by Seattle photographer Frank Nowell, who spent several years in the Nome area. The amount of sunlight in the photo suggests that the days may be getting longer.
