Follow this link to find out about the Toolik Field Research Station in Fairbanks Alaska. http://toolik.alaska.edu/ If I were to go work at a Field Research Station, I would go to this one because I have always been fascinated with the Alaskan Wildlife and this would be a great place to go to study that.
A national park that interests me is the Denali national Park in Alaska. The landscape there is beautiful and it is home to the highest point in the USA: Mt. McKinley. Mt McKinley is the geologic feature that interests me. I have seen Mt Ranier in Washington state, and it is not nearly as high as Mt. McKinley. Mt Ranier was 45-60 minutes away from where I was in Washington and it towered above everything. I think it would be absolutely amazing to see Mt. McKinley towering even higher above the landscape. Here is a link to a Pic of Mt. McKinley: http://nature-reserves.net/?p=495
This Pic is one that I took while in Washington of Mt. Ranier:

I can't really pick a favorite animal that I would like to study, because I am so interested in so many of them. All of them large animals, and all of them are hunted. but since we are sticking with an Alaska theme, the animal that interests me at this present moment is the Grizzly bear. They are so huge and powerful, I would love to have the opportunity to hunt them one day.
