Havikpak Creek is located north of Inuvik in northwestern Canada. The permafrost region borders the taiga and is occasionally covered by boreal forest. The radar signal in the low-frequency L-band penetrates deeper into the vegetation, down to the ground, and thus allows statements to be drawn about the volume or the biomass of the vegetation. In the picture area on the top right, the forest areas (light green) are clearly visible.
