Tell us the name and location of this remote wilderness for a chance to win a DeLorme PN-40 GPS. Entries due by June 10.

The area, in square miles, of the park's largest icefield (a feature bigger than a glacier, but smaller than an ice cap). It's the only one contained entirely within the United States, and one of only four left in North America.

0.5
The recommended distance, in miles, to keep between your sea kayak and calving tidewater glaciers to avoid the huge waves created by falling chunks of ice. Paddling the park's 500 miles of coastline is the most popular visitor activity here.

Bird species found here, including peregrine falcons, horned puffins, and rhinoceros auklets.

6,450
The height, in feet, of the park's tallest nunatak–the Inuit word for a peak that juts out of an icefield or glacier

189
The number of backcountry overnight visits in 2008. The hardy few campers often rely on kayaks, snowmobiles, or float planes to enter the wilderness, which has just one entrance accessible by car.
