Arctic Wildlife

Alaska's Arctic is an extreme wilderness landscape inhabited by animals that have adapted to life in a harsh climate. The wildlife species there have adapted unique characteristics to deal with life in the winter months of brutal cold and blowing snow, where temperatures can plummet to minus 50 degrees and colder.
