The Sagavanirktok River is is a river in Alaska's North Slope.[1] It is approximately 180 miles long, and originates on the north slope of the Brooks Range, flowing north to the Beaufort Sea near Prudhoe Bay. The trans-Alaska Pipeline and Dalton Highway roughly parallel it from Atigun pass to Deadhorse AK.[citation needed] Also, a glaciation happened approximately at the same time as the Illinoian glaciation of central North America at the Sagavanirktok river.[citation needed]
