Arctic wilderness
Frozen northern frontier
Arctic wilderness refers to the remote, largely uninhabited regions of the far north—the tundra, ice fields, and polar seas near and above the Arctic Circle.
The phrase emphasizes both geography and pristine condition: land untouched by development, home to polar bears, caribou, and indigenous peoples.
Congress debated whether to open the Arctic wilderness to oil drilling.
