Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve...

A frozen meadow..

....Alaska, way up north of Fairbanks, you get here by air,
it's a mostly frozen wilderness, best suited for a bear;
but if you make it up here, the fishing is the best,
but you'll need a strong back to carry, this by need and behest.

It's suggested that you visit in the long summer nights,
thirty days with no darkness, you won't need any lights;
there is one thing they don't mention in the brochure,
you'll be swarmed by mosquitoes when you go out the door.
