Gates of the Arctic Caribou Cabin (Brooks Range)

The Gates of the Arctic Caribou Cabin, an outpost of the Iniakuk Lake Wilderness Lodge, lies so far north that there are no more trees – you're right in the middle of the tundra. It's equipped with a thermostat-controlled heating system, because fetching firewood would mean a 300-kilometer (185-mile) trip … Of course there's still a wood stove to create a cozy atmosphere while moose, caribou, bears or wolves wander past the window.
