UNC Students Take On Alaskan Mountains For Research Project

Posted Aug 18, 2021
The hike to the Arrigetch Peaks is at least four days of intense, uphill bushwhacking with 100-pound backpacks. And that’s after a 90-minute floatplane flight from Coldfoot, Alaska, that drops you more than 100 miles from the nearest road. Andrew Buchanan and Owen Ryerson are seasoned outdoorsmen, and the UNC roommates spent months preparing. (UNC.edu)
