Story SHOW HOPE : On a watchtower, looking in the distance, hoping for far adventures, better times, new horizons or the return of a dearly beloved; in a dark and ominous surrounding glows a bright light.
Here's the tower, in Uelen, Cape Dejnev. Land's end at the Bering Strait. The guards sent out to this region, look out bored over the Yupik, the original inhabitants of both coasts. A desolate Big Brother-like situation.
That's where the tower is.
