Description:   Ancient mountains, arctic tundra, Eskimo culture; a truly memorable Arctic Journey, far above the Arctic Circle.  Anaktuvuk is a unique ecosystem where ancient mountains, arctic tundra, and Eskimo culture come together for the experience of a lifetime.  Far above the northern tree line at the Arctic Contintental Divide, glacially carved mountains rise to 6400 feet, offering dramatic views.  The Pass is a major migration route for the world's largest herd of 450,000 Barren Ground Caribou. You often see grizzly, black bear, wolf, moose, Dall sheep, wolverine, and fox amidst these majestic mountains' shadow.  In the Eskimo village, meet people whose rich, ancient heritage guides them as they work to blend modern ways with traditional subsistence living.  Learn about the Nunamiut (inland Eskimo) way of life.  Visit the National Park ranger station.  After lunch, experience how the people travel, hunt and use the land. Explore subsistence hunting trails across the treeless Arctic tundra, traveling tribal lands. Travel with an Eskimo guide as today's Nunamiut do, on an 8-wheel ARGO all-terrain vehicle.
