Gates of the #Arctic National Park and Preserve is an #American national park that protects portions of the Brooks Range in northern #Alaska. The park is the northernmost national park in the United States, situated entirely north of the Arctic Circle. The #park is the second largest in the #US, slightly larger in area than #Belgium. Gates of the Arctic was initially designated as a national monument on December 1, 1978, before being redesignated as a national park and preserve upon passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980.
A large part of the park has additional protection as the Gates of the Arctic #Wilderness that adjoins the Noatak Wilderness. They form the largest contiguous wilderness in the United States together.
Fauna include brown #bears, black bears, #muskoxen, #moose, Dall #sheep, timber #wolves, #wolverines, #coyotes, #lynxes, #marmots, #porcupines, river #otters, red and Arctic #fox species, #beavers, snowshoe hares, muskrats, bald #eagles, golden eagles, peregrine #falcons, ospreys, great horned and northern hawk-owls. More than half a million caribou, including the Central Arctic, Western Arctic, Teshekpuk, and Porcupine herds, #migrate through the central Brooks Range twice yearly, #traveling north in summer, and south in winter. Caribou are important as a #food source to native peoples. The park is the northernmost range limit for the Dall sheep. About 132 brown bears reside in the park and preserve, based on a density of about one bear per 100 square miles.
