Eskimo language, is 120 miles long
and forty miles wide. It is. how-
ever. only one of the great lakes of
Baffin Island. There are also Tes-
seyoakjuak Lake and Lake Nelsolik.
The latter may be larger than Ang-
makiuak. These lakes offer one of
the few places for safe water land-
ings for planes to be found any-
where in the Arctic.

"Rivers and lakes of the
are well stocked with fish. notably
sea trout and speckled trout. The
Arctic hare. wolves. and white and
blue foxes are found. llelndeed are
numerous and a few musk oxen
are believed to inhabit the northern
section. The Eskimo population is
placed at 670.

"For delightful summer ‘climate a
person would not go to the seashore
of Baffin Isiandpbut inland. Cur-
rents bearing icebergs and chilled
by melting ice make the coast cool
and damp. Inland within the
shelter-1011110 rocks. the sun beats
downs for long hours of tho.Arctic
day. Brilliant flowers blossom. but-
terflies enliven the \varmed rocks,
and even pestiferous summer flies
irritate modern explorers just as
much as they did Frobisher.

“Like the Americas. Baffin Is-
land takes its name. not from its
discoverer. but from a later explor-
er, William Baffin. Baffin never led
an expedition to its shoes. but his
scientific observations made as pilot
on three important ventures into
the northwest earned him the hon-
or of having the gloat island as
well as the big boy between North
Greenland and Baffin Island named
after him."

to give assistance and as for the
