Location
Deadhorse, United States
Inigok Airport (ICAO: 4AK1) is a small, remote airstrip located on Alaska's North Slope, associated with the Deadhorse area and the broader Prudhoe Bay oil field region. It serves primarily as a utility strip supporting oil exploration and related industrial operations in one of North America's most remote and harsh environments.
