Relative position | The Ikalooksik River flows northward to Niyrakpak Lagoon on northwest St. Lawrence Island. This site includes the drainage area of the principal course of the river where stream sediments collected over a length of 8 miles have low but consistently anomalous amounts of copper. It was not identified as a separate locality by Cobb (1972, 1980). |
