life resources are managed by the 

 Alaska Game Commission and the 

 United States Fish and Wildlife 

 Service. The Territorial Depart- 

 ment of Fisheries conducts scientific 

 investigations of the fisheries re- 

 sources and works closely with the 

 Fish and Wildlife Service. 



With its striking contrasts in 

 physical features, climate, vegeta- 

 tion, and animal life, Alaska is most 

 easily described one part at a time. 

 Brief descriptions of its five rather 

 natural divisions, and of Nunivak 

 Island and the Pribilof Islands 

 follow.
