We found ourselves at Oksrukuyik Creek, in the location where the National Ecological Observation Network deploys water quality sensors in the summer season. Water sources are primarily rainfall, snowmelt and lake inputs. This area is lovated on rolling till plains and moraines, and because it lacks glaciar runoff or deep mineral spring inputs, it is clasified as a clear-water tundra river. Oksrukuyik Creek provides pring spawning habitat and summer feeding areas for adult Arctic grayling before they return to deeper waters to overwinter.
