The Brooks Range serves as the backbone of the refuge. This range is the northernmost extension of the Rocky Mountain chain. It stretches for 600 miles long by 200 miles wide across the entire Alaskan Arctic. It might seem that with all this richness, the ecosystem is resilient. But that is far from the case.
Snow usually covers the ground at least nine months of the year.
