Located within Gates of the Arctic National Park, the Arrigetch Peaks, meaning 'fingers of the hand extended,' have long been a landmark to the Nunamiut people of northwest Alaska.
Frigid Crags and Boreal Mountain form the Gates of the Arctic, the iconic passage to the Gates of the Arctic National Park, as described by Robert Marshall.
