Details About Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge

The Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge is a striking tundra environment, consisting of a broad, flat delta stitched through with rivers and streams and dotted with countless lakes and ponds. The refuge's fresh and marine waters are home to more than 44 species and the drier upland habitats boast populations of both brown and black bears, caribou, moose and wolves. Along the coast of the refuge, the waters of the Bering Sea host a variety of marine mammals, including harbor, ribbon and bearded seals and walrus.
