. L'ultimo viaggio del Karluk, ammiraglia della spedizione artica canadese di Vilhjalmar Stefansson del 1913-16. Da terra una certa distanza nell'oceano. Waring Point si trova a est di Evans Point e a ovest. I nomi geografici sull'isola di Wrangell derivano dai nomi degli ufficiali degli Stati Uniti. Nel 1881 Rodgers esplorò l'isola. In una giornata limpida come questa non era insolito essere in grado di vedere per diciassette miglia. Il lato nord-est dell'isola, su cui ora eravamo, ha inviato parecchi sprits sabbiosi bassi fuori dalla terra, formando così lagune che di coursewere coperte di ghiaccio. Vicino

. The last voyage of the Karluk, flagship of Vilhjalmar Stefansson's Canadian Arctic expedition of 1913-16. from land some distance intothe ocean. Waring Point lay far to the east ofus and Evans Point to the west. The geographi-cal names on Wrangell Island are derived from thenames of the ofiicers of the U. S. S. Rodgers whoexplored the island in 1881. On a clear day likethis it was not unusual to be able to see for seventymiles. The northeast side of the island, on whichwe now were, sent several low sandy spits out fromthe land, thus forming lagoons which of coursewere covered with ice. Near the coast were lowmountains and valleys, with higher peaks in theinterior beyond. Here and there on the beachwere dead trees that had drifted ashore, with theroots sticking up into the air; we also found planksand other lumber. Everything was snowclad andwhite, only a degree less cheerless than the frozenocean itself. The next day Munro, Chafe, Breddy and Wil-liams went back with all the dogs and sledges tothe last camp on the ice, fifteen miles from ourlanding-place, and brought in all the supplies we. ^ s, c c o o d CD i- ^ ^ Ol c ;3 _tS O n 01 Eh o .T3.2 ft„3 O<J 02M cs <! _25 rf S 9s g »^UH d to -a o cs -t; o 0) g rt a ia to a^ , 13• CO S r oi ^fe bossi C O «2§ IM -^ !- T-l J- 4^ WE LAND ON WRANGELL ISLAND 163 had left there. While they were gone I sent Ker-drillo nine miles across the lagoon to Berry Spit, to see if he could find any traces of the mates partyor the Mackay party. He took his rifle with him tolook for game. When he came back at nightfall, he reported that he had seen no traces of eitherparty and only one bear track and one fox track.This was an indication that there was small chanceof getting a bear on or near the island, becausethere were no seal holes within twenty-five milesfrom land; we had seen some near the big rafter, about forty miles out. Later in the season, as theice broke up nearer the land, the seal would workin shore and of course the
