    Bernie Krause, Martyn Stewart, and I were fortunate to spend more than a week in June of 2006 documenting the soundscapes of ANWR. Dr. Krause was an inspiration for the Western Soundscape and Western Wetlands projects archived at the University of Utah. See http://westernsoundscape.org/ You can link to some of the ANWR sounds there. Kevin Colver
