Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, USA
Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge was established as a refuge in 1941 under US President Franklin D. Roosevelt's leadership. Kodiak Island in Alaska boasts a diverse landscape that includes an extensive shoreline spanning hundreds of kilometres as well as lakes, marshes, bogs and meadows. The island's towering mountains are adorned with fjord inlets and lush vegetation, including sedges, alders, spruces, vibrant wildflowers and delicious berries. A wild inhabitant of the islands, the Kodiak bear, the largest subspecies of brown bear, is named after the archipelago.
