Brooks Range

The Brooks Range is a mountain range that stretches from west to east across northern Alaska and into Canada, a total distance of about 1100 km (700 mi). The mountains are not especially high, topping out at about 2,600 m (8,500 ft), and well north of the treeline, so they are mostly covered by tundra. The range is entirely uninhabited, but the Dalton Highway[?] and the Alaska Pipeline[?] run through the Atigun Pass (1,415 m, 4,643 ft) on their way to the North Slope[?] and the oil fields at Prudhoe Bay[?].

As one of the remotest and least-disturbed wildernesses of North America, the mountains are teeming with wildlife, including Dall sheep[?], grizzly bears, and caribou.
