Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge is, at 1.637-million
acres, about the size of the state of Delaware. It sits atop the Arctic
Circle, with approximately one-third of the refuge above that meridian
and two-thirds below. The refuge is a prime example of Alaska’s
boreal ecosystem, which is dominated by black and white spruce with
some white birch and poplars.
