  • Chamisso Wilderness is a 455-acre (184 ha) wilderness area in the U.S. state of Alaska. It was designated by the United States Congress in 1975. A small subunit of the Chukchi Sea Unit of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, Chamisso Island and nearby Puffin Island were combined as a wildlife refuge in 1912, designated Wilderness in 1975, and added to the AMNWR in 1980. Chamisso Island, named after the naturalist Adelbert von Chamisso, comprises one large sand spit and a low beach zone surrounding a covering of tundra with a few marshy bogs. Although Chamisso Island is much larger, Puffin Island houses many more nesting birds, especially horned puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, and thick-billed murres which build their nests on the steep-walled cliffs that fall into Spafarief Bay. Iñupiat cross from the mainland to gather eggs, primarily from kittiwakes and murres. With the exception of birds and the occasional fox that crosses frozen sea in winter, nothing lives on the islands that make up Chamisso Wilderness. Walruses, seals, and whales can often be seen in Spafarief Bay. (en)
  • El área salvaje Chamisso (en inglés, Chamisso Wilderness) es una pequeña área salvaje de los Estados Unidos del estado de Alaska,​ que protege la isla Chamisso, localizada en el Kotzebue Sound. Comprende 184 ha (1,8 km²). Fue designada por el Congreso de los Estados Unidos en 1975. La isla Chamisso lleva el nombre del naturalista Adelbert von Chamisso, consta de un gran banco de arena y una zona de playa que está rodeada de una cubierta de tundra con unas ciénagas pantanosas. Los esquimales aún cruzan desde el continente para recoger los huevos de algunas aves, principalmente de gaviotas tridáctilas y araos. Con la excepción de las aves y el zorro ocasional que cruza el mar congelado en invierno, nada vive en las islas que componen la Selva Chamisso. Morsas, focas y ballenas a menudo se pueden ver en la . (es)
