Nunam Iqua Cove

Nunam Iqua means “land's end” in Yup'ik, a fitting name for the low country at the edge of the Yukon delta. Here the river divides into channels before meeting the Bering Sea, among tundra, ponds and wetlands. The area near the Black River was used for summer fish camps, where families could take advantage of the seasonal runs. In winter, ice changes the appearance and the routes of this watery landscape.
