White Mountains National Recreation Area, Alaska
Taken on Jun. 28, 2014
This landscape in the White Mountains National Recreation Area northwest of Fairbanks shows the full range of terrain and vegetation cover making up the Interior Forested Lowlands and Uplands ecoregion. This region includes flat bottomlands, hills, and low mountains, but the slopes here are relatively gentle and valleys V-shaped and proportional in size to the rivers in them, reflecting terrain formed by water rather than glaciers. Forest cover is irregular, ranging from closed-canopy forests to taiga and open tundra.
