The area where JMR is located is approximately where sporadic and discontinuous permafrost zones meet. Most members of our community do not know exactly where every permafrost zone is located, including within or in close proximity to JMR. However, there are geographic features, such as permafrost heaves that are quite large and are home to a number of different animal species, particularly smaller furbearers. These permafrost heaves are important places for hunting, trapping, camping, and as landmarks for those familiar with the area.
