Chandalar Shelf
Looking downslope on the south side of Atigun Pass from Chandalar Shelf, in the Brooks Range in northern Alaska.
Below, in that dirt wide spot in the road, (chain-up area for trucks headed up Atigun in winter) is where 'the farthest north spruce tree' is located.
Treeline here is 2500 feet. In contrast, Alberta CA is 7500 feet, Colorado is 12,000 feet, and Ecuador, near the Equator, is 19,000 feet.
