Netcheck Cape

Cape Netchek forms the low northwestern point of Coats Island in northern Hudson Bay. Behind the cape, raised beaches and numerous lakes spread across the island; to the north, Walrus Island rises abruptly from the water. Walrus gather on the pack ice in late spring and summer and come ashore on nearby islands when the ice melts. Inuit travel to Coats Island to hunt caribou as well as using the surrounding waters for marine hunting.
