The University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute is offering weekly free public tours during the summer, from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Tours take about 1.5 hours and start at 1 p.m. Wednesdays at the entrance of the Elvey Building on UAF’s West Ridge.

These tours are family-friendly, educational, and offer insight into world-class research happening at the University of Alaska Fairbanks with local and global impacts.
