Fog-bound Tetlin Passage
Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge is a dynamic landscape made up of forests, wetlands, tundra, lakes, mountains and glacial rivers bounded by the snowy peaks of the Alaska Range in Wrangell-St. Elias NP. This upper Tanana River valley, blanketd in fog, has been called the "Tetlin Passage," because it serves as a major migratory route for birds traveling to and from Canada, the lower 48 and both Central and South America.
