“. . . the dogs keep up the same
steady pace and Pangnirtung has been in sight for about
an hour. . . They take to their heels and the komatik
literally flies through the air, swings, swerves, crashes
into the larger bits, sings back and tips on to one runner,
rights itself, rises over a lofty chunk and drops with
a bang." Dr. Jon A. Bildfell, Journal, April 12, 1934
