P.DeBenedictis 1965 25 July Barrow, Alaska Clear and not very windy, a warm beautiful day in awe we had to walk. We ran lines III + IV in 20 minutes! seeing little (and catching little) then took off for Footprint lake where we were supposed to meet McLean- who wasn't there. This was important as he not only knew where we were going but also had our lunches. I then went down to Ikravik, where he was still not to be seen. Found a weasel road along the west side and followed it south the length of Ikravik and the next large lake south. Here we gave up and decided to work back along the east side of this lakes, finding a Cabine Grill, Arctic Teen Colony about 1/2 mi. E of the southeast end of the next large lake south of here. We then found McClean and followed him to the N. end of Lake Sungovak, about 14 miles due south of the Lab area. Here Bob and I turned back, going east about a mile then around two lakes and 10 to 15 gas well and along the same route in home, getting in about 5:30. The country here is clear and much of it is quite low and flat, the relief being mostly areas of high center polygons. The major feature of the landscape was the large lakes, mostly oriented N-S and all but the largest and deepest ice free. The area is much more uniformly grass covered than around the Lab and the marshes were quite green! considerable shallow standing waters. Birdwise there were no large flocks of anything, except Golden Plovers, and thinly only 6 about 10, and female Steller's Eiders, but
