Overview
Once the sight of a watchtower, the town is located at the most north-eastern point of the island. When it first became available to the public, it was used mainly as a camping ground for hunters, and a resting spot for visiting mushers. It was later expanded into an actual town when the Xanctsu Quest was stamped onto the world of mushing. Since, various people from northern parts of Canada, the United States and Russia (and some colder-climate areas of Europe such as Norway, Sweden and Finland) have come to the town to start a more rural way of life. Here, dogsled is the most common means of transportation.

Landmarks
Not far from the docks is the town's distinguishing landmark: the lighthouse. Once a watchtower during World War II, it went out of use decades ago and now serves as a lighthouse for travelling ships. It has been well maintained and serves as a beacon for weary travellers.

Health
The town is not at all large enough to require a full-scale hospital, but instead has one (or two, at best) residential doctors. Their offices are small, but contain the most common cures for ailments on the island. When a critical injury or illness occurs, a helicopter can be called to retrieve the patient and bring him/her to the nearest hospital.

As for veterinarians, the town was about one or two, each with their own small practice. The veterinarian's office is fully equipped, but should an uncommon illness strike, they would have to send away for medicine. For the most part, however, the offices are stocked for illnesses and injuries common to island life.

Shopping
You're out of luck if you're looking for a well known store to buy your clothes at. There are a series of small shops up and down the main strip, a select few being clothing boutiques, and others including a baker, a grocery store, a pet supply shop, and a hunting supply store. For a better selection, one would have to travel to the mainland (a ferry comes once a week).

Jack's Diner and Tavern
Jack's Diner rests on the first floor of this large building. With calm an comforting decor, it serves as a home-away-from-home for the weary traveller. Jack's Diner serves as a great meeting place for friends, family and even for business interactions and is generally quiet.

Jack's Tavern occupies the top floor of the building and is a regular haunt for many mushers after a long day of training. There is a TV set where the locals can catch up on news (or more importantly, the latest hockey games and news). Betting on anything from TV sports to dogsle teams is not uncommon in the Tavern, but it is generally a good place to hang out.
