Alaska's Credit Union 1 plans to open a branch late this year 30 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

The branch will open in Kotzebue, Alaska, 539 miles north of Credit Union 1's headquarters in Anchorage and at the tip of an island-like peninsula on the Chukchi Sea. Thursday's high is expected to reach 54 degrees with sunset about midnight.
