3 August Bernard River, Bank Dr., Canada to Barrow, Alaska
habitat. Other many swales - some
being several square miles in area were
also seen along this route, but they were
inaccessible by plane.
The country to the north of the Bernard
which was covered yesterday was the
same as described for the Mohu camp
area - large hills with rather barren,
sparsely vegetated tops & the wet
Euphorbiaceae - grassy marshes - in valleys.
It appeared that the northern area
may be 70-75% upland country,
and the remaining part is lower
slope & marsh - while south of
Bernard River, the country was about
45-50% upland - the remainder being
marshy. The unknown area which
would still be well considered
to the headwaters country of the Bernard.
We arrived at Sachs Harbor, picked
up mother's mail & flew on to Kivalik. Here
we ate, checked the ships & left
for Barrow at 1800 (160 Barrow time)
& after flying above the Brooks we arrived
at Barrow at 2000.
