Long Range Mountains

These spectacular mountains rising abruptly from the lowland dominate the rugged and sparsely populated land. Covered in stunted arctic-alpine plants and wind-dwarfed trees, the area is home to caribou, arctic hare and rock ptarmigan.

This expanse of mantle was forced to the surface when the ancient continents of North America and Eurafrica collided.
