'''Point Barrow''' or '''Nuvuk''' is a headland on the [[Arctic Ocean|Arctic coast]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Alaska]], {{convert|9|mi}} northeast of [[Utqiagvik, Alaska|Utqiagvik]] (formerly Barrow). It is the [[Extreme points of the United States|northernmost point]] of all the territory of the United States, at {{coord|71|23|20|N|156|28|45|W|region:US-AK_type:landmark|display=inline,title|name=Point Barrow}}, {{convert|1122|nmi|mi km|lk=in}} south of the [[North Pole]]. (The [[Extreme points of the Americas|northernmost point on the North American mainland]], [[Murchison Promontory]] in Canada, is {{convert|40|mi}} farther north.)
