Uataaq

Uataaq lies near Goodhope Bay, an inlet on the northern shore of the Seward Peninsula. The Goodhope River winds northeast into the bay, while Cape Espenberg extends northward into the Chukchi Sea. Sand ridges and dunes line this exposed coast, and archaeological remains at the cape record a long history of settlement. In 1816 Otto von Kotzebue explored the sound and named Goodhope Bay during his search for a passage through the Arctic.
