?This peat pass marker is situated at the south eastern end of the North West Passage.
These peat passes were cut by a team of men between 1895 and 1905 under the direction of William Francis Phillpotts. 1837 – 1909. They were cut simply to make travelling easier in very difficult terrain.
Unfortunately this marker has had its plaque removed at the time of my visit in 2007, will check when in the area next time.
Type of Historic Marker: Granite plaque with missing plaque.
