Polar Pathways: Robert E. Peary's Arctic Expeditions
1893 - Okkak: A Mission Station
“From Hopedale we threaded our way through fog and heavy ice to the mission station of Okkak. The appearance of this station is very similar to that of Hopedale, though there seems to be a larger number of native habitations… I remained ashore only long enough to obtain from the missionary the location of these camps [with Inuit sledge dogs for purchase] to the northward, and then went on board ship.” -Robert E. Peary, Northward over the Great Ice, published in 1898
