Arctic Ground Squirrels in Alaska The Inupiaq people call this animal a for the sound it makes when alarmed (which is most of the time.) We usually see Arctic Ground Squirrels at a distance, as they with annoyance, then duck into a burrow. The first photo is an example of this, seen along the Gold Cord trail in Hatcher Pass, Independence Mine Park. I was not able to approach that one (and many others like it) any closer. Back at the parking lot by the Independence Mine Visitor Center, there were friendlier squirrels, probably used to accepting tidbids from tourists. The other three photos are of one of these parking lot critters, who allowed me to get much closer.
