Aerial landscape of Teshekpuk Lake located in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) on the Arctic Coastal Plain. Teshekpuk Lake and the surrounding area provide important habitat for migratory birds. This was one of many study site locations of waterbird-oriented ecosystem studies in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska from 1974-1992.
