Tunalkten Lake Hot Spring
The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Tunalkten Lake Hot Spring is a thermal point in the North Slope Borough with almost nothing on record beyond its position. Nuiqsut, the nearest town listed, is 288 miles away. Temperature, landowner, access status and elevation are all blank.
The road nearest the spring is 2.4 miles off, unnamed, and the approach is rated a hike. The climate runs in the upper twenties on average with moderate snow and light precipitation. The record is silent on the ground itself.
Best months and camping are both absent from the record. Fee data too. Treat the spring as unverified in every respect and research it elsewhere before planning anything. North Slope Borough is the jurisdiction.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
