Angikuni Lake (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Angikuni Lake is a lake in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is one of several lakes located along the Kazan River; Ennadai Lake is to the south and Yathkyed Lake is to the north. During his 1948 trip, Canadian explorer Farley Mowat arrived at Angikuni Lake, then part of the Northwest Territories, and found a cairn, constructed in a fashion uncommon to area Inuit. It contained pieces of a hardwood box with dovetailed corners. Mowat, knowing that only one other European explorer, Samuel Hearne, had been in this region previously, but that was in 1770, speculated that the monument was built by Francis Crozier who vanished in 1848 during the ill-fated Northwest Passage Expedition, originally led by Sir John Franklin.
