Gambell's isolated location on an island with no seaport results in heavy dependence upon air transport. The state-owned airport has an asphalt runway. Regular flights from Nome and charters from Unalakleet are available. Freight is shipped by barge from Anchorage. Winter transportation on St. Lawrence Island primarily consists of snow-machine travel over packed snow. However, these routes often traverse through treacherous landscapes that offer little or no points of reference during bad weather. Tripods were installed in 2013 marking the winter routes between Gambell and Savoonga, as well as other points on the southern part of St. Lawrence Island. An approximately 7 mile evacuation road was completed in 2013 which extends southward from the village of Gambell.
