"Brevig Mission is a tiny Inuit village on the Bering Strait. The one full-time government employee is a "financial administrator." No police or fire department, no utilities workmen, no waste management. Amazingly though, there is an online dating service. (One might have thought that with only 276 citizens, everyone would more or less know who was available.) There are two women and two men looking for love, which would be good math, except that one of the men-- last time I checked the site, anyway-- isn't into women. Cutieguy1, a black African, self-described as "cute 5.4 feet tall looking" is the second-least-likely person you might imagine finding in Brevig. The prize itself goes to Johan Hultin, a six-foot-tall Swede with a shock of white har and a trim white goatee. Hultin arrived in Brevig on August 19, 1997, having told only one person about this trip and got right to digging. Beneath the feet of solid ice were bodies. He was excavating a mass grave."
