Lake-studded tundra
Hundreds of lakes and ponds speckle the interior. They create a fine, irregular pattern that fills the island and gives the poster most of its texture.

A large, lake-dotted tundra island in the Bering Sea, its broad volcanic interior almost empty of roads.

The island
Nunivak Island lies in the Bering Sea off the delta of the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers in western Alaska, separated from the mainland coast by Etolin Strait. It is one of the largest islands in the Bering Sea, a broad, rounded mass of land. From above it looks like a sheet of tundra punctured by hundreds of small lakes and volcanic craters.
Much of the island is part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. It is home to the Cup'ig people, who live in Mekoryuk, the only permanent village, on the north coast. Nunivak is also known for its musk oxen, brought in from Greenland in the 1930s. The herd later helped restore the species to other parts of Alaska.
A Nunivak Island map poster is unusual among island maps because the interest lies inside the coastline rather than along it. Lakes, craters and meandering streams scatter across the tundra in a dense, organic pattern, while the single village makes only a small mark on the northern shore. It is a map of land and water in almost equal measure.
Hundreds of lakes and ponds speckle the interior. They create a fine, irregular pattern that fills the island and gives the poster most of its texture.
The island is volcanic in origin. Its craters and crater lakes appear as round, sharply defined shapes among the looser outlines of ordinary tundra ponds.
The island's only village sits by a bay on the north coast, a small cluster of streets and an airstrip in an otherwise open landscape.

Why Nunivak Island
Few people see Nunivak in person, which makes its map meaningful to those who have: Cup'ig families and their relatives elsewhere, teachers and researchers who have spent seasons there, pilots who know the route. For others it is simply a striking, almost abstract pattern of lakes and shore.
Change the title, subtitle and coordinates line to record a place name or a year spent on the island. Choose one of five styles; Blueprint and Noir both handle the dense lakes well. Download the HD files for $9, or order a matte print shipped from a partner in 30+ countries.
