Toasted Tussock Tundra

Caption

In June 2008, a little more than a year after the massive Anaktuvuk River fire on Alaska's North Slope, a helicopter used to ferry researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Institute of Arctic Biology, Toolik Field Station to the Anaktuvuk River fire burn site sits in stark contrast to the burned and seemingly lifeless tussock tundra.
