A22K was installed as part of the temporary USArray project and integrated in 2020 into the permanent Alaska network as part of the National Science Foundation-sponsored Alaska Geophysics Arctic Observing Network project. This station is located on the Beaufort Sea coastal plain. The installation team noted "This is probably the site most likely to have a polar bear encounter." A22K is generously hosted by our partners at the Bureau of Land Management (National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska) and the North Slope Borough. Photo courtesy of Array Network Facility.
