Arrigetch Peaks, Granite peaks in Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska, US.
The granite spires of Arrigetch Peaks rise from the tundra to an elevation of 2,192 meters in the central Brooks Range of northern Alaska.
The geological formation received its National Natural Landmark designation in 1968, encompassing 38,313 acres of land shaped by glacial activities over millennia.
The Nunamiut people named these peaks 'fingers of the outstretched hand' in their language, marking their significance as a navigational landmark.
Access to the peaks requires transportation by small aircraft to reach the remote location, followed by extensive hiking through unmarked wilderness terrain.
Eleven small cirque glaciers persist within the peaks, displaying the transition between metamorphic and granitic rock formations in the mountain range.
