General Account
15 July Barrow - Point Lay
Left Barrow at 0915. Stopped at
Liz 3 at 0955 and off again at 1008.
Arrived at Liz 2 (Point Lay) at 1053,
Met Clarence Molan, the station superintendent,
and got squared away in a
wanigan. Molan made a wheel available for me in the afternoon,
and I was taken out onto the tundra back of the
site. We were out from 1515 to 1720
and covered about 2 1/2 miles ground
between the site, which is west on
the lagoon, and the Kokolik River and
the large lake where they get their
drinking water, about a mile east. There
is a gravel bed road got to the lake. The
ground right along the lagoon is up-
raised a bit and is a Eric phoenicu
typock - herb - dwarf shrub complex but
this drops down almost at once to low
flat terrain of lacustrine polygons.
The highest rise in the immediate
vicinity, a short ridge ca 50 ft high, lies
between the lake and the river - north-
west of the lake. We went over this ridge,
along the river to the eastern end of
the lake and back to the site. Lupine,
and a plantain were common flowers seen.
