Grotto near northern side of Petunik Glacier is a favorite stopping place for the Eskimos on their journeys between Qomunnaq and Cape York (Ignauganaq.) It is a mile or more north of the gla- cier and has been made by the ac- tion of frost in a fault zone in the gray, feldspathic gneiss. I am told that, years ago, one could walk upright into it, but that a severe southwesterly storm drove a great quantity of beach shingle into the entrance. Now one crawls on hands and knees for six or eight feet in order to get in. The interior is perhaps 30 feet from front to back and a- bout ten feet wide at the widest part. Maximum height about eight feet.
