The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the least visited and remotest areas left on the North American continent. The area is known for the 130,000 animal strong Porcupine caribou herd that migrates through this area every year to reach their coastal calving grounds. The bush administration has been pushing the issue for opening this area for oil development for many years. We will start this trip from Fairbanks. We fly north of Fairbanks and across the arctic circle to the small Athabascan Indian village of Arctic Village.A smaller bush plane will take us to the headwaters of the Kongakut.
Our first day out in the wilderness will be spent exploring the rivers source. The next 10 days we will float the river and take layover days to hike in the open tundra and may see grizzly bear, caribou, wolves, musk ox, Dall sheep, arctic fox.
