The Anaktuvuk River fire was a wildfire that started in mid-July 2007 in the North Slope region of the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] The fire was sparked by lightning and burned more than 400 square miles (1,000 km2) of Arctic tundra – at the time, the biggest on record in the North Slope – before it was extinguished by snow in early October.[1]
