Nature: American Arctic

2022-04-13

Overview

Vast, wild, and remote, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is where some of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles unfold. Situated in northeastern Alaska, this Refuge has long protected survivors of the Ice Age that still roam a frozen wilderness. Now, this icy fortress is melting due to climate change. For the caribou, musk oxen, polar bears, and Arctic foxes, the Ice Age is slipping away.
