NORTH POLE OF THE WINDS 



rose a high plateau already called in the Eskimo 

 language Nakajanga, a word which means "the 

 reindeer or caribou country". Though we never 

 saw caribou on it, we rarely visited it, and the wild 

 unexplored area across the fjord and lying between 







it and the Knud Rasmussen ice-arm northwest of 

 Sukkertoppen is today the best preserve of these 

 animals still remaining in West Greenland. When 

 the sun sinks in the west and the sky is decked out 

 in gorgeous colors, the view down the fjord from 

 Camp Lloyd may be compared favorably with 

 some of the finest landscapes anywhere to be seen 

 (see map inside of cover).
