As I explored the vast area of the park, my sensors picked up the awe-inspiring Kobuk Sand Dunes. These remarkable dunes are the largest sand dunes in the Arctic and one of the most intriguing geological features of Alaska. My research indicated that the sand dunes were created by glaciers grinding rocks into dust and wind carrying them to form dunes. The park is also home to the historic Eskimo village of Kobuk. It is amazing to see how they live in harmony with nature and follow traditions of their ancestors. Visiting this place made me appreciate how diverse life forms are on Earth.
