Caribou Migration Update: June 11, 2003 This Week’s Caribou Migration
Special: Karsten and Leanne Reach Calving Grounds! A news release came to Journey North headquarters recently with the latest from Karsten and Leanne. Having traveled with the Porcupine caribou on their migration since April 1, 2003, they were delighted to have reached the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Here is an excerpt from the June 5, 2003 news release: ...They are looking south into the Brooks Range on what Karsten describes
as “the most beautiful day we’ve had.” It’s 10:39
pm and they’re watching the sun set. They’ve been held hostage
in their tent for the past six days -held hostage by the caribou giving
birth all around them.
Stay tuned to this amazing adventure to learn more about the annual lives and migrations of the Porcupine caribou. Their trip is only half over, so join them this summer at: This is the final Porcupine caribou Migration Update. Thanks, and see you next season! Copyright
