Welcome to Tigvariak. Tigvariak is situated N65°43' just south of the northpole circle and W169°31'. Swamps and boreal forest stretch over hundreds of miles in each direction. Yet a highway was build here to connect the oil fields in Melozi on the Western coastline with the metro area of Fynlaison, 317miles more east and 234 more south. Tigvariak was a pioneer town once and mainly sprung up during the late 40ties of the last century when it became a main stop and place of supply for the upcoming oil fields in Melozi. With the growth of the oilfields the region also got its railwayline. Tigvarial station is mainly a cargo station but proudly calls in one passenger train every two days! The rivers and lakes however are to wild and shallow to make any shipping possible. Boats would get stuck on the rocks and shallow sands in the swamps. Today the city and region mainly survives on logging industry, nature tourism and travelers on the Kougarok HWY between Fynlaison and Melozi. It boosts a number of hotels and big proviand supply stores. This cj will be the slower kind of cj but I'll attempt to update on regular pase. Watch the remote region of Tigvariak and it's towns grow as the story unfolds. 1. Tigvariak region 2.Kougarok HWY 3.The railwayline and is that a sign of civilisation in the background? 4.The highway connector towards Tigvariak 5.A cargo train on the rail connector facing away from Tigvariak. Tigvariak has chosen to go all green to preserve the regions nature. It did so from the very beginning when power came to town in the mid 50ties. 6.The hamlet of Nikolai however was the first ever permanent inhabited town in the region. It lies across the lake from the Tigvariak island where the city of Tigvariak can be seen in the distance. However Tigvariak soon became bigger than Nikolai and has continued to do so since 1952. 7. Logging industries on the edge of the city 8.Old Tigvariak seen looking towards Kluane lake. 9.Downtown seen from one of the countless islands in Kluane Lake 10. Tigvariak overview with the old town in front and downtown in the back. Stay tuned for more. You guys may decide what to see next. There are several more towns in the Tivariak region I haven't showed yet. Should Tigvariak grow or maybe some other town in ther region? Should we seek for oil? Mining? Or just grow our logging industries bigger? Greetings! Joshua
