A group of caribou get ready to swim across the Noatak River, heading south on their fall migration. This is a small portion of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd which numbers over 300,000.
"As one of North America's largest mountain-ringed river basins with an intact ecosystem, the Noatak River environs features some of the Arctic's finest arrays of plants and animals. The river is classified as a national wild and scenic river, and offers stunning wilderness float-trip opportunities - from deep in the Brooks Range to the tidewater of the Chukchi Sea."
Artist MK MacNaughton gets inspired during her artist-in-residence excursion to Copter Peak. Noatak National Preserve inherited a beautiful original oil painting from MK as a result of the program.
