An untouched domain of musk oxen, polar bears, golden eagles, wolves and a cherished herd of 180,000 caribou, the preserve is one of the nation's last pristine animal ranges.

Despite a three-week effort by 40 search vessels, the Swedish navy never flushed out what it believed were two or more foreign submarines lurking in the waters off Musk Island.
