The wood frog can be found throughout Alaska, and is the only frog to survive north of the arctic circle.  It's claim to fame is the amazing ability to freeze solid in the winter, then thaw to life in the spring.

The wood frog is small, usually less than 3 inches, but it's call is a loud, quacking, "quock-quock-quock".  You can listen to their call and help survey at the Alaska Wood Frog Monitoring Program
