    Lewis Brower, whaling captain and lifelong Barrow resident, presents his hand-made traditional ice cellar to U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Billie Hartman, Pacific Air Forces Regional Support Center senior enlisted leader, and U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Stanton Brown, 611th Civil Engineer Squadron commander, in Utqiagvik, Alaska, Feb. 4, 2023. The ice cellar, made by Brower’s family and generations of whaling captains, is capable of handling two full whales between 32 and 38 feet long. The Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Airmen were visiting Utqiagvik for a site visit of Point Barrow Long Range Radar Site and to participate in Kivgiq, an ancient Iñupiaq tradition, which unites North Slope communities in a celebration of dance and fellowship.
