About We Met America's Most Isolated Man: Northern Alaska

Heimo Korth is the last man standing in 19 million acres of Alaskan wilderness. His neighbors are polar bears and caribous. Say goodbye to civilization and see how they do it in the arctic circle on the last frontier in America. In 1980, Jimmy Carter established the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the Alaskan Interior, cutting off 19 million acres of prime boreal wilderness from the mitts of fur trappers, oil tycoons, and would-be lodge owners alike. Only six families of white settlers were grandfathered in and allowed to keep cabins in the refuge—of them, only one still stays there year-round living off the land. His name is Heimo Korth, and he is basically the Omega Man of America's Final Frontier. This documentary was produced by VICE Media and directed by John Martin & Thomas Morton. It was first released in 2012. --- Click the SUBSCRIBE button and make sure to set NOTIFICATIONS to stay updated with all new content!
