Largest national parks in North America
North America's largest parks are in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Northeast Greenland, the largest national park on earth, covers the entire north-east of the island. Wrangell-St Elias in Alaska, at 53,000 square kilometres with its preserve, is the largest in the United States and joins Kluane, Glacier Bay and Tatshenshini-Alsek in the biggest protected area on the continent. Wood Buffalo, Canada's largest, was created for the last wild wood bison, and Quttinirpaaq lies at the top of Ellesmere Island.
