  Seward Peninsula airborne electromagnetic survey, Kigluiak, Bendeleben, and Darby Mountains, covers parts of the Teller, Bendeleben, Nome, and Solomon 1:250,000-scale U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangles on the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska. Time-domain electromagnetic data were collected with the SkyTEM 306HP system, which was towed by a helicopter, from September 8 to October 3, 2023, and from June 5 to July 18, 2024. A total of 4,330-line kilometers (km) were collected covering 4,817 km2.
