Itkillik River, Remote brook in North Slope, Alaska.
The Itkillik River extends 220 miles through the Endicott Mountains, flowing from an elevation of 5,276 feet down to the Colville River.
The name originates from an Iñupiaq term 'It-kil-lik' marked on maps from 1900, translating to 'Indian' in the indigenous language.
The river maintains importance for indigenous communities who practice traditional subsistence fishing methods along its waters throughout the seasons.
Access to this remote waterway requires specialized transportation arrangements, with aircraft being the primary means of reaching the location.
The river features a massive permafrost formation containing prehistoric animal remains within a 100-foot-high ice cliff stretching 1,200 feet.
