This project created ten oral history interviews with one sea ice scientist and twelve residents of Kotzebue, Utqiagvik (formerly known as Barrow), Point Hope, Wainwright and Wales, Alaska, about their observations of changing sea ice conditions. The interviews were added to the archives and website interface of the Northern Alaska Sea Ice Project Jukebox, a longitudinal qualitative project where recorded observations of changing sea ice in Barrow previously spanned a time period from 1978 to 2013. The inclusion of recordings from residents of Kotzebue, Point Hope, Wainwright, and Wales will serve as a benchmark of observations from those communities. Understanding how the sea ice is changing on the outer continental shelf area around these communities will support future development and management of resources. Additionally, photo and video galleries that show various ice conditions and features were added to the Northern Alaska Sea Ice Project Jukebox website.
