February 13, 2014 Council Bans Fake Marijuana, Other Dangerous Drugs by Sandra L Photo by Diana Haecker WHITE AND BROWN— A warmer than usual January left the region around Nome with very little snowcover and a lot of ice and overflow. Mountain tops looming over the Nome River valley are snowcapped, but some willows in the valley already show fresh sprigs and even sprout buds.

The Refuge spans more than 200 miles west to east from the Trans-Alaska pipeline corridor to Canada, and 200 miles north to south from the Beaufort Sea to the Venetie Indian Tribal Lands and the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge. Geography Major land forms include coastal plain, the Brooks Mountain Range and boreal forest areas south of the Brooks Range. Beginning on offshore barrier islands or at the Beaufort Sea coast where islands are not present, the Refuge extends south, including lagoon areas along much of the coast, encompassing the mostly treeless coastal plain, a relatively narrow strip of rolling tundra to the Brooks Mountain Range, located 8-50 miles from the Beaufort Sea coast. The mountain range extends roughly east to west, bisecting the Refuge and creating a natural north-south division. The Refuge includes the four tallest peaks (led by Mt. Isto, 9049 ft.) and the only extensive glaciation in the Brooks Range. The mostly hilly and mountainous south side is cut by numerous stream and river valleys dominated by sub-arctic boreal forest of spruce, birch and willow.
