Alaskan Dinosaurs

A team of intrepid paleontologists discovers dinosaur fossils in the unlikeliest of places—deep in the dark, snowy wilds of northern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.

Surprisingly, their wealth of new findings indicates that dinosaurs, far from being confined to the lush tropical jungles and warm swamplands with which we normally associate them, thrived year-round and raised their young in frigid and dark conditions in the far north of the Arctic Circle. Climbing up cliffs bordering the Colville River, the team wields chainsaws to extract fossils frozen into the permafrost. On the Aleutians, they deploy LiDar-equipped drones to map thousands of newly found dinosaur tracks indicating that a wide variety of species flourished there, including herds of duck-bills, horned varieties, pterosaurs, a new type of velociraptor, and northern relatives of T. Rex.
