Skull Cliff marks a dramatic transition from the tundra to the coast of the Chukchi Sea along the northwestern edge of the Alaska North Slope Borough. The landscape is characterized by its hydrological patterns, where small drainage systems such as Tuapaktushak Cr and Kikaligarak Cr wind through the coastal plain toward the sea. This 2014 survey documents the topography of a remote stretch of the Arctic shoreline, emphasizing the interaction between terrestrial features and the maritime environment. The area is defined by its lack of established roads or permanent settlements, showcasing the untouched nature of the Alaskan coast near the mouth of these small creeks.
