Abstract

Contains account of voyage made by the schooner Yukon (author in charge) Aug. 11-Sept. 10, 1880. Observations were made during the northward voyage at Plover Bay on the Siberian coast 64 degrees 22' N. 173 degrees 21' W.) and on the Alaska coast near Cape Lisburne. Pack ice was encountered north of Pt. Barrow and the Yukon turned south, stopping about 50 mi. west of Barrow, then at Chamisso Island in Kotzebue Sound, and on Big Diomede in Bering Strait. Comments are made on topography, vegetation, and soil conditions observed at each landfall. Chamisso Island is described in some detail, with particular attention to ground ice. A hydrothermal section made across Bering Strait showed water warmest on Alaskan side, cooling gradually to Siberian side. Comments are made on currents. Dall's observations On a 'fossil glacier' of Yakutal Bay, made during the Yukon's voyage were reported in the same journal Oct. 1880, v. 120, p. 335; and Prof. N. H. Winchell's discussion of Dall's reports, ibid. May 1881, v. 121, p. 358-60.
