Surface pools Teshekpuk Lake
Surface pools on the edge of West Long Lake in the Teshekpuk Lake Special Use Area of Alaska’s North Slope. These pools are formed by permafrost. During the summer months, snow and ice melt and the water remains pooled on the surface, resulting in thousands of pools and lakes that support wildlife.
