North Salt Lagoon is located between Elson Lagoon and Chukchi Sea, 4 mi. NE of Barrow, Arctic Plain.
History
Named for scientific purposes (Carson and Hussey, 1962). This feature is probably the same lagoon recorded by Sergeant John Murdoch and published as Imeakpuniglu by Lieutenant P. H. Ray (1885, p. 55), U.S. Army (USA), and reported by them to mean big water, too. The Eskimo name is more closely rendered Imikpaneraluk.
