Mollie Beattie Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in northeastern Alaska, United States.
The Brooks Range extends through the region, creating diverse ecosystems from sea level to peaks reaching 9,000 feet in elevation.
The United States Congress established this 8,000,000-acre wilderness in 1980 through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
The area honors Mollie Beattie, who made history as the first female director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Transportation to this remote location requires air taxi or personal aircraft, as no established roads or facilities exist within the boundaries.
The wilderness hosts the 110,000-member Porcupine caribou herd, which performs seasonal migrations through the southern portion during winter months.
