Our observations of streams across the Brooks Range point to the inadvertent opening of a Pandora’s box, with potentially serious and perhaps far-reaching consequences.
By Patrick Sullivan, Jonathan O'Donnell, Roman Dial and Rebecca HewittAn orange tributary in the upper Salmon River watershed of Kobuk Valley National Park.
Descending the river in a leaky kayak named “Snake Eyes,” McPhee found sweeping views of mountains, tundra and forest, a rich run of chum salmon and “the clearest, purest water I have ever seen flowing over rocks.” The paddlers spent much of their time catching the abundant Arctic grayling and Dolly Varden that follow the salmon upstream. It was a quintessential Alaskan wilderness trip that cemented the Salmon’s Wild and Scenic status.
There is no single source of the turbid orange waters. The river runs clear from its mountain headwaters to Kanaktok Creek, which is the first but not the worst of the orange-colored tributaries. Just downstream from Kanaktok is an unnamed creek that we dubbed “Irontok,” for its bright orange color.
