This is a long way to go to see a sign,
but that's pretty much all there is to see. The Arctic Circle lies
approximately 160 miles north of Fairbanks on the Dalton Highway, otherwise
known as the Haul Road due to the fact it's used to haul supplies to the North
Slope oilfields. It's not a particularly
tough drive, but it is all gravel road. I did the drive in a Mercury
Marquis (my apologies to Hertz) and there were stretches where I was able to
maintain 55 mph without difficulty.
