Description:
Abstract:
This black and white air photo mosaic is comprised of imagery that was acquired in 1948 along Elson Lagoon near Pt Barrow, Alaska.
Purpose:
This imagery was compiled from archived imagery to address the mapping needs for a shoreline change study as part of the Arctic Coastal Dynamics program.
