Alaska's Lakes and Rivers

Alaska's interior and arctic regions are defined by vast networks of freshwater systems and remote wilderness. This collection highlights the state's diverse hydrology, from the Kobuk River—known for its Great Kobuk Sand Dunes—to high-latitude glacial bodies like Lake Schrader in the Brooks Range. Many of these sites, including Old John Lake and Sheenjek Lake, are situated within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), serving as critical habitats for migratory wildlife and traditional subsistence areas for indigenous communities.
