TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. While Nome may be the first deep-water draft for the Arctic, Nome’s mayor says it likely won’t be the last because of global warming.

VERBATIM: The expansion is expected to be operational by the end of the decade,. The port will accommodate larger cruise ships of up to 4,000 passengers. It will also accomodate cargo ships, as they deliver additional goods for the 60 Alaska Native villages in the region, and military vessels to counter the presence of Russian and Chinese ships in the Arctic.
