- Station Name:
- Ini-002
- Latitude:
- N 70.000°
- Longitude:
- W 153.037°
- Elevation:
- 40.6 masl
- Lake Area:
- 1.3 ha
- Mean Depth:
- 0.8 m
- Record:
- 2011-2017 (discontinued)
- Purpose:
More of a wetland than a pond or lake, these macrophyte chocked waters freeze solid in the winter, yet support dense populations of large-bodied zooplankton in the summer. Also popular lake with loons and many other aquatic birds, this site was part of the Circum-Arctic Lake Observation Network (CALON) from 2012-2015.
