The thrill of crossing the Arctic
Circle is the most memorable moment of many visitors'
Alaska Journey. The people, the places, the history,
and the adventure combine to make the Far North
unlike anyplace else in Alaska. The arctic is a land
where tales are passed on for generations and Native
culture is rich in ancient dances, rituals, and
craftsmanship.
Experience the unique vegetation,
marine life, and wildlife that thrive in the
wilderness of Alaska's Far North. Warm summer sun,
which shines for days without end, creates a lush
carpet of wildflowers and berries. Winter visits to
the Arctic will often reveal the spectaular beauty
of the aurora borealis.
One of America's most glorious
wilderness prizes is the
Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve.
This 8-million-acre park and preserve is home to the
mighty Brooks Range, which begins at the Canadian
border and stretches across Alaska.
Visit the Far North, witness the
meeting of two worlds, and discover how Alaska
Natives meld their ancient customs with 20th century
technology.
