One of the most visually stunning areas along the #DaltonHighway in northern #Alaska is Mount Sukakpak. A massive wall of Skajit Limestone rising to 4,459 feet that glows in the afternoon sun, #MountSukakpak is an awe-inspiring sight. Peculiar ice-cored mounds known as palsas punctuate the ground at the mountain's base. "Sukakpak" is an Inupiat Eskimo word meaning "marten deadfall." This photo of Sukakpak was taken from the north, showing the mountain’s reflection in an alpine lake. Photo by Bob Wick, @mypubliclands. by usinterior
