"Experience a vast and untouched wilderness at Cape Krusenstern National Monument, where the past and present converge. Encompassing nearly 560,000 acres of Arctic landscape, this unique site boasts an incredible variety of coastal and upland ecosystems that have been shaped over millennia. The monument holds deep cultural significance for the Iñupiaq people, who have called it home for thousands of years – a legacy preserved in the numerous beach ridges that stretch along its shores. By protecting these ancient traditions through subsistence practices, we safeguard not only the land itself but also the rich connections between the people and their environment."
