Dooksook Harbour

Off the southern coast of Nunivak Island, the waters of the Bering Sea approach Dooksook Lagoon, fed by the Dooksook River. Nunivak lies west of the Yukon–Kuskokwim delta, separated from the mainland by Etolin Strait. In 1821 the Russian navigator Adolf Etolin reached the island and met Yup'ik inhabitants during an expedition along the western Alaskan coast.
