Frogs in Alaska?  The Wood Frog lives in Alaska, even near the Arctic.

Summers are short, so Wood Frogs mate and develop from tadpole to frog quickly.  Wood frogs are being studied by scientists to see if the process of freezing and thawing can be replicated in human organ transplants.  Doctors want to find a way to help organs last longer waiting to be transplanted.  Human organs dehydrated when frozen, wood frogs have nucleating proteins which suck the water from the frog's cells, and replace it with glucose.  Alaska Wood Frogs are amazing!
