- There are no public roads or facilities nearby; plan transport with an experienced Arctic operator (floatplane/helicopter or expedition vessel) and include contingency time for weather delays.
- Visitors often miss the surrounding tundra and birdlife-schedule shore landings or guided walks rather than just a flyover to appreciate the landscape and breeding waterfowl.
