This is one of the most remote regions in the world; uninhabited except for the small Nunamiut Eskimo village of Anaktuvuk Pass. These people are one of the last groups of True-hunter-gatherers in the world to settle in a permanent place. Ancient mountains, Arctic Tundra, Eskimo culture, come together for a truly memorable Arctic Journey, far above the Arctic Circle
The pass at Anaktuvuk is a unique arctic ecosystem, bounded by the Gates of the Arctic National Park, where glacially carved mountains rise 4,000-feet above a broad tundra valley. Visit a small cultural history museum of the Nunamiut people, the Simon Paneak Memorial Museum
Located in the northern Brooks Range at the edge of the Arctic Coastal Plain, this strategic pass is a major migration route for 450,000 Barren Ground Caribou, the largest caribou herd in the world. |
