The Nome Webcam shows a view of the Visitor Center and Norton Sound. Nome is a city located on the southern Seward Peninsula coast on Norton Sound of the Bering Sea. It is in the Nome Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska. According to 2005 Census Bureau estimates, the city population was 3,590. Nome was incorporated in 1901 and was once the most populous city in Alaska. Nome is in the unorganized borough (i.e., is not in any borough, the Alaska equivalent of counties) and lies within the region of the Bering Straits Native Corporation (BSNC). The Sitnasuak Village Corporation (a sort of subsidiary of BSNC) has its land holdings in and around Nome. The city of Nome claims to be home to the world's largest gold pan, although this claim has been disputed by the Canadian city of Quesnel, British Columbia. In the winter of 1925, a diphtheria epidemic raged among Eskimos in the Nome area. Fierce statewide blizzard conditions prevented delivery of a life-saving serum by airplane from Anchorage. A relay of dog sled teams was organized to deliver the serum. The annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race commemorates this historic event. The sled driver of the final leg of the relay was Gunnar Kaasen; his lead sled dog was Balto. A statue of Balto by F.G. Roth stands near the zoo in Central Park, New York City. Leonhard Seppala ran the penultimate, and longest, leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome. One of his dogs, Togo, is considered the forgotten hero of the "Great Race of Mercy", another of his dogs, Fritz, is preserved and on display at the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum in Nome.
