Drawn to the North by tales of the gold rush and the untouched riches of Alaska, the Lomen family moved from Minnesota to Nome, Alaska, in 1903. In 1908, the brothers—Carl, Harry, Alfred and Ralph—purchased a photography studio, quickly learning how to keep cameras in working order at Arctic temperatures. Through a vast number of historic photographs, the Lomens documented Arctic life of the first few decades of the twentieth century.
