North Slope of Alaska Gallery

In August 2024, the FORTE team conducted field operations across Alaska's North Slope, capturing stunning aerial and ground-based imagery of the region's unique Arctic landscapes. From the Colville River near Nuiqsut to the expansive river systems and coastal areas, these images document the critical ecosystems being studied by the FORTE mission.

The collection includes views from NASA's ABOVE flight operations, showcasing the team's collaborative research efforts, as well as dramatic landscapes from the Gates of the Arctic, eroding coastlines, and the intricate network of lakes and rivers that characterize this remote and rapidly changing environment.
