Stopped at Panitcha's old igloo on the
bay not far from (N.E. of) the Astrip
monument. A good igloo command-
ing a beautiful view across Wos-
tenholme Sound between Saunders'
island and the mainland. I won-
der whether the old man appreciated
it. All the igloos at Umanak
look out upon fine views, though
it is not likely that either here or
elsewhere the Eskimos pay much at-
tention to the view in choosing sites
for their dwellings. We continued
our walks up over diabase ledges,
grassy swales and plains and sandy,
gravelly earthy debris to the first
group of lakes discharging into "Fall
Creek", whose noisy waters are heard
so plainly from the topic point.)
