Baillie Island Post during a storm, 1929.
(R. C. Diocese Archives/ L. T. Burwash)
Utqaluk Today
We
had just reached Utrkaluk, Baillie Island … when a violent western
gale pushed old, thick, ice fields to shore. ("I, Nuligak"
p. 158)
Today there is nothing left of Baillie Island Post. Utqaluk is exposed to storms blowing off the Arctic Ocean, and waves and high water have washed the sand spit clean.
